EUR NOT JOKING
England’s Euro 2016 campaign was one to forget.
And that is exactly what has happened to some of the players included in Roy Hodgson’s 23-man squad for the tournament in France.
There were players in the side from the likes of Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal.
But where are those aces four years on?

GAME FACE
EA Sports will remove certain celebrations from the latest FIFA 21 game to prevent spreading “toxic” behaviour among gamers.
The renowned ‘shushing’ celebration is just one of the celebrations to be scrapped.
It consists of a player holding his finger to his lips after finding the target to ‘shush’ the opposing fans into silence.
Another celebration to go is the ‘A-OK’ hand gesture which was last year added to a list of hate symbols because of its connotations with white supremacists.
KEEPER OR GO-ER?
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer admits he must sell one of David De Gea, Dean Henderson and Sergio Romero this summer.
FAMILY FORTUNES
The Gunners have been linked with a £27million swoop for the Lille defender.
The Spaniard is keen on bringing a defender in to shore up his leaky back line.
Now it has been revealed on social media that the 22-year-old’s sister Mayara follows the London side on Instagram.
SANCHO NO-GO
Borussia Dortmund have told Man Utd to FORGET about signing Jadon Sancho this summer.
“Last summer we adjusted the salary to the performance development of Jadon. In this context, we have extended the contract until 2023.”
‘VERY GOOD PLAYERS’
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has warned his side what to look out for against Copenhagen.
He said: “Stale’s team, they’ve got individuals there and very good players.
“But I think the biggest strength is the teamwork and how well organised Stale’s teams always are.”
United will make a loan offer for Kingsley Coman if their pursuit of Jadon Sancho fails, according to reports.
Rio Ferdinand has called for United to wrap up a deal for Jadon Sancho.
The Old Trafford veteran also dismissed claims that the Red Devils have enough to players in his position.
Speaking ahead of the game, the United boss said: “I know how Stale has built the club and what they’re about.
“Of course, I played against them when I was at Molde.
‘YOU’RE GOING HOME’
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has issued a warning to his squad ahead of the clash against Copenhagen.
“You can’t think too far ahead.
Jadon Sancho had already said his goodbyes to the staff at Dortmund – before meeting up with them again this morning.
The Independent claim the 20-year-old was so sure he would leave the club before pre-season training resumed.
PIRLO SAYS NO
The report also adds that Sami Khedira and Blaise Matuidi are also at risk of being let go with both midfielders 33 years old.
Finally, defenders Mattia De Sciglio, Alex Sandro and Daniele Rugani could be sold as well.
GREEN LIGHT
Mason Greenwood still wants to score a headed goal for Manchester United’s first-team this season.
When asked which area of his game he is looking to improve, he told Uefa: “I think in headed goals.
According to Sky Sports, of the pair it is Havertz who “is the one who is most keen to move as soon as possible”.
Antonio Conte is looking to raid Manchester United again and add Chris Smalling to his Inter Milan squad.
The defender was deemed surplus to requirements by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last summer and was shipped off to Roma on a season-long loan.
Roma are desperate to keep the former Fulham man, who will miss out on their Europa League quest this month, but have been put off by United’s £21m asking price.
STAT ATTACK
Off he goes…
Manchester United have MISSED the deadline to sign Jadon Sancho.
And the England ace has been named in Borussia Dortmund’s pre-season squad and will fly to Switzerland with them as a result.
The Bundesliga side previously told United they wanted an agreement in place by August 10.
But the Red Devils refused to meet their £108million asking price.
Lucien Favre will put his players through their paces at a training camp in the Swiss town of Bad Ragaz.
COP OUT
He said: “In order to do that we have to play perfect.
“We need a bit of luck. We maybe need a United that doesn’t fire on all cylinders.
“We need to be perfect defensively.
Paul Pogba has been extra work in at the training ground to make up for lost time, revealed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
“Of course, he’s got to make up for lost time, and he’s trying to do that.
“He’s training extra, he’s always a great personality in and around the place, and hopefully we can see him lift this trophy [like] he’s done before.”
COM AND GET ME
Manchester United have a backup plan in place should Jadon Sancho’s move to Old Trafford fall through.
That comes in the shape of Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman, according to the Evening Standard.
It’s a huge day for Manchester United as Dortmund’s reported deadline for receiving a bid for Jadon Sancho expires tonight.
Dortmund are also not willing to budge from their £108m asking price at the moment and are said to be disappointed that United have failed to indicate what price they would be willing to pay, reports Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to let one of his keepers go — with Dean Henderson demanding the No 1 spot.
David De Gea is under pressure after a series of blunders, while Henderson has had two successful seasons on loan at Sheffield United.
“I must be the most privileged manager in the world with our goalkeeping department.
“The Europa League has also shown how important Sergio has been for us — and David has always been performing.
And Solskjaer added: “Since coming back from injury he has been a delight.
“He has worked really hard, he is happy and he is playing well.
“I am really looking forward to working with him.”
Lastly, Tahith Chong could be heading to the Bundesliga with the Man Utd willing to let the winger join Werder Bremen on loan.
Chong, 20, is reported to have had talks with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Friday, following his appearance in United’s Europa League game against LASK.
PAUL IN
Pogba’s current deal at Old Trafford expires next summer but SunSport reported last month he was close to agreeing a new five-year extension.
“He has worked really hard, he is happy and he is playing well.
“I am really looking forward to working with him.”
