Players such as Bukayo Saka, Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford were the nation's young hopes at the Euros, but now there's a bunch of new kids on the block.

Most notably, starlets such as Jacob Ramsey and Trevor Chalobah have been making waves ahead of the Qatar World Cup later this year.

But the duo aren't the only ones on the verge of a call-up for England.

JACOB RAMSEY – ASTON VILLA

England icon and Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard has already tipped Jacob Ramsey for international success following his stunning form for his club.

Aged just 20, Ramsey's become a staple for Villa this season – hitting the net six times in 26 Premier League appearances.

Ramsey shot through the ranks at Villa since joining their academy aged six and signing a professional contract in 2019.

He had a brief stint on loan with Doncaster Rovers in 2020 where he scored three goals.

PHIL FODEN says he will get a dog called ‘World Cup’ if England triumph in Qatar later this year – to go with the pooch he already has named ‘Carabao’.

The Manchester City ace got himself a French bulldog soon after his boyhood club won the League Cup for a third straight year in March 2020.

Asked if it was true the mutt had been christened after the energy drink who sponsor the competition, Foden said: “Yeah, it is.

“After I won it, I got a dog just after the final, so I decided to call it that. It’s not having puppies though, no chance.”

The Etihad favourite was part of the Three Lions squad who came so close to glory in the Euros last summer.

Asked if he would consider calling another dog ‘World Cup’, he said: “If we get there and win it then yeah – definitely.”

Before then he is aiming to add the Champions League to a medal collection that already includes three Premier Leagues,an FA Cup and four Carabao Cups – at the tender age of 21.

He said: “Obviously that’s the one we dream about, the one we want.

“We’ve won the Premier League all these times and all the cups but it would be extra special if we could – but if not I still believe we’ve been so successful in the last few years.”

Foden was stunned recently when City legend and former team-mate Sergio Aguero named him as his favourite current player.

MANCHESTER UNITED's board MUST take Jamie Carragher's advice and do everything they can to appoint Thomas Tuchel as the next permanent manager.

The upheaval at Chelsea means that Tuchel’s position may become problematic between now and the summer.

United were knocked out of the Champions League by Atlético Madrid on Tuesday evening.

Although the Red Devils are mathematically still in the race to qualify for the Champions League next season via the Premier League, given their indifferent form there are not many United supporters who think they will.

But, whether it’s the Champions League, Europa League or no European football at all next season, the big talking point amongst supporters is who will be in the dugout.

United, as Gary Neville has said on numerous occasions, must go for “best in class”.

But what exactly does that mean in relation to United’s pursuit of a new manager, and why does Tuchel fit the profile above all others?

Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are the two best managers in world football.

Unfortunately, they manage Manchester City and Liverpool.

Automatically, you then have to look at who the “best of the rest” is, and names like Diego Simeone and Antonio Conte.

It would be very difficult to get Simeone away from Madrid, and why would he leave a side that beat United so comfortably over two legs?

MEMPHIS DEPAY should be offered a shock transfer return to the Premier League with Tottenham, according to reports.

The Dutchman, 28, struggled during his two seasons with Manchester United from 2015 to 2017.

However, he resurrected his career at Lyon and joined Barcelona on a free last summer.

But according to Gerard Romero, Depay could be on the move again this year with Spurs making an approach.

With the futures of Steven Bergwijn and Harry Kane unclear, Tottenham are likely to need reinforcements in attack.

They missed out on Adama Traore but did land Dejan Kulusevski in January – and the Swede has made an instant impact in North London.

Traore joined Barcelona, initially on loan, while fellow forwards Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres also made the switch from the Premier League.

Those arrivals – coupled with a series of injuries – have limited Depay's game time this year, although he has scored two in his last three substitute LaLiga appearances.

He was unable to add to his overall Barca tally of ten goals in Sunday's 4-0 win over Osasuna.

But the forward managed to post a video of a naked Gerard Pique to his 14million Instagram followers as the players celebrated in the changing room.
