Paul Scholes has revealed that he would like Gareth Southgate to use Trent Alexander-Arnold in a new position when England face Slovenia on Tuesday.
Southgate has come under fire for insisting on playing the Liverpool right-back in midfield alongside Declan Rice at Euro 2024.The England boss seemingly admitted that this experiment had failed in his side’s group game against Denmark on Thursday as Alexander-Arnold was replaced by Conor Gallagher after 53 minutes.underwhelmed in their opening game as they beat Serbia 1-0.
“At England, there are no runners, so his greatest strength – his passing range – in that midfield role is completely wasted. He’s playing it simple because he has too – all these England players in front of him, except for Saka sometimes, want the ball to feet. Man Utd legend Scholes has encouraged Southgate to start Alexander-Arnold at left-back, for Kobbie Mainoo to play next to Rice and for Cole Palmer to start on the right wing.
“It is such a great group here, everyone sticks together. Now I feel we’re finding our feet, we’re going into the third game full of confidence and trying to finish top of the group.”England are in line to face Group A runners-up Switzerland in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024, which means a repeat of that Denmark nightmare is pending…Scotland suffer more major tournament heartache as Kevin Csoboth’s 100th-minute winner saw Hungary knock Steve Clarke’s team out of Euro 2024.
