Neville feels Maguire is a good player, and his form will eventually return, but he'll need some help mentally after a few miserable months for both club and country, according to the Mirror.

Neville asks Maguire to seek external help

The Sky Sports pundit feels his experiences as a player resonate well with Maguire. He asked the 29-year-old to continue fighting and try to get better mentally and on the field.

I've been there. Every player has. When I lost my confidence, I saw a psychologist to help me through those moments. But there's nothing you can do other than show up, try your best and not give in.

"At some point, his form will return. I would suggest he does what I did. I did go and see my doctor at Manchester United. I did go and see a psychologist. You do need external help at times."
