Owen Hargreaves surrendered to Marcus Edwards. The former midfielder and former England player has ensured that the Sporting winger has shown the level enough to make his debut for Gareth Southgate’s squad. “There is always room for a player like this in the national team. How could he not be in the shortlist to play like this… There were a lot of international players and he was the best on the pitch. What you need as a player player is that, a chance. He can play in positions different,” the former Manchester United and Bayern Munich confirmed to BT Sport. Marcus Edwards graduated from Tottenham and is a young international player in the Three Lions, and could also be picked up by Cyprus, where his mother comes from.

Peter Crouch, the former England striker, also paid tribute to the former player in the. Guimarães. “A lot of technique and individual skill, he didn’t get it right in the end, but it was a great moment,” he said of Edwards, recalling the winger’s zigzag way towards goal.
