Under-fire Aidy Boothroyd insists being England U21 boss is an 'IMPOSSIBLE job' despite being blessed with a squad of burgeoning talents, as his star-studded side head for another early exit from the Euros

Aidy Boothroyd has insisted being the England Under-21 boss is an 'impossible job,' as pressure on his position continues to mount with his star-studded team heading for an early exit at the European Championships.

England's U21 side, which is full of Premier League players and burgeoning young talents, have suffered two defeats from their first two matches at the tournament and are on the verge of being eliminated.

Boothroyd's men need a two-goal victory over Croatia on Wednesday and other results to go their way - which is highly unlikely - just to make it through the groups following back-to-back losses against Switzerland and Portugal.
