Luke Shaw has handed England a major fitness boost for Euro 2024 after declaring himself ready for the last 16 clash against Slovakia. Shaw has not played any football since February when he suffered a hamstring injury – one of a clutch of issues that largely derailed his 2023-24 campaign with Manchester United. Having been one of Gareth Southgate’s most trusted players in an England shirt, he was included in the final squad despite major concerns over his fitness, not playing a single minute of the group campaign. The 28-year-old has been working on an individual training programme out in…

Wayne Rooney has warned Gareth Southgate that Jude Bellingham’s frustrations could ‘boil over’ during England’s Euro 2024 knockout stage. After the Euro 2024 group stage concluded on Wednesday evening, the Three Lions will now play Slovakia in their last-16 match this Sunday at 5pm. England have been unable to hit top form so far this tournament, and a drab goalless draw against Slovenia on Tuesday led to Southgate being pelted by empty cups by supporters. Bellingham’s frustrations were clear to see during the stalemate against Slovenia and Rooney believes the Real Madrid midfielder is ‘not quite right’. ‘Jude starts the…

Gary Neville has warned England will have to overcome a major ‘problem’ against Slovakia in their last 16 clash at Euro 2024.

While their performances so far have been a concern, England have landed on the more favourable side of the draw for the knockout phase of the competition, unable to face Germany, France, Spain or Portugal until the final at…

Alan Shearer has called for Gareth Southgate to make three changes to his side for their last 16 showdown against Slovakia at Euro 2024.

The introduction of Kobbie Mainoo at half-time injected some life into the performance with Cole Palmer joining him midway through the second-half having replaced Bukayo Saka. The Manchester United and Chelsea stars made incredibly strong cases to start England’s next game, offering poise and invention in midfield and attacking areas, outshining…

Manchester United have discussed a potential move for Bologna’s versatile winger Dan Ndoye, according to reports in Italy. The 23-year-old only joined Bologna last summer in a €9 million (£7.6m) deal from Swiss side FC Basel. At Euro 2024, Ndoye has started all three group games for Switzerland and has been one of their standout performers in the tournament so far. He scored in the 1-1 draw with Germany last Sunday and is now set to start Switzerland’s last-16 clash against Italy this Saturday. According to Sky Italy, Ndoye’s performances at Euro 2024 have alerted the interest of United, who…
