Maguire Heals Heartbreak in Barbados with Fern

has mended his England heartbreak by jetting off to Barbados with his wife Fern, after he and his family blasted his axe from the Three Lions ahead of the World Cup.

The Manchester United star was considered a favourite to make 's team for the tournament in the US, and , but failed to land a spot when they flew to Miami this week.

Harry's wife Fern shared her upset at his snub at the time, saying she was 'beyond devastated' for him, while his mother Zoe said she was 'disgusted' by the move.

But the footballer has made the most of his extended summer break, having enjoyed a Caribbean getaway with Fern and his family.

The images showed Harry enjoying a round of golf with England goalkeeper - ahead of the Everton star flying to join the Three Lions training camp - before relaxing with Fern, who made the most of the weather in a printed bikini. 

Posting snaps from the trip on Instagram, Harry wrote the caption: 'Barbados you were beautiful.'

Tuchel named his 26-man squad for the tournament last week, ahead of the Three Lions' first group match against Croatia on June 17. 

Maguire is not on his list, while Manchester City's Phil Foden and Chelsea's Cole Palmer have also been axed, while left backs Lewis Hall, of Newcastle, and Manchester United's Luke Shaw are both omitted.

The in-form Morgan Gibbs-White, of Nottingham Forest, is overlooked. As is Real Madrid's Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Maguire confirmed he is not on the plane with a social media statement.

'I was confident I could have played a major part this summer for my country after the season I've had,' he said.

'I've been left shocked and gutted by the decision. I've loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years. I wish the players, all the best this summer.'

Maguire's mother, Zoe, later tweeted 'absolutely disgusted' in response to Tuchel's decision. She replied to her son's tweet, saying: 'You couldn't have done anymore. Hold your head high ...Disgraceful.'

Maguire's brothers Joe and Laurence also waded into the escalating row, with Joe labelling it 'the worst decision I've ever seen' while Laurence described it as a 'shambles'.

Now, Maguire's wife Fern has had her say. Taking to Instagram on Friday morning, she said: 'Beyond devastated for you. There was nothing else you could have possibly done to prove your worth.

'I don't need to tell you how admired you are, just a shame you were up against a single opinion. Forever behind you my love.'

Harry and Fern are childhood sweethearts and married in the summer of 2022 in France. The pair share two daughters - Lillie Saint Maguire and Piper Rose Maguire.

Maguire's younger sister, Daisy, also publicly supported the former United captain on Instagram.

She wrote: 'Crazy decision. Keep your head up.'

The international stalwart has been a feature at the lions' share of ties for his country since breaking through at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

In his press conference on Friday, the England manager explained his reasoning for leaving out Maguire as he was forced to defend a number of calls under scrutiny, such as the omission of stars like Cole Palmer and Phil Foden, and the inclusion of wildcards like Jordan Henderson and Ivan Toney.

'It's not necessarily the best and most talented player (who is picked),' he said. 'It's the best team.

'We chose a very balanced squad. I can guarantee we have 26 players who are committed to team spirit and being unselfish. We have to pick the squad we are convinced by and who we love.

'It comes down to who do we really trust? Who delivered? Who helped with the culture? Who are the leaders? It's about the energy, the connection and the trust.'

Tuchel also had little time for Maguire's very public reaction, deeming it 'not necessary'.

'I respected his personality and quality a lot, he had an outstanding season,' Tuchel added. 'But still, I was a bit surprised because we had a private conversation when he could express his feelings and that was fair enough.

'I felt his disappointment. I felt that he was upset. I can see all the arguments to have him in camp. But it's just a decision, not a personal decision, just a decision for someone else. It (his response) was not necessary, let's put it like this.'
