England manager Gareth Southgate has admitted to taking inspiration from Sir Alex Ferguson's tenure at Manchester United on handling the nation's young prospects such as Jadon Sancho and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Sancho, 18, provided his second assist in an England shirt to set up Raheem Sterling for his first goal during the 5-0 win against the Czech Republic on Friday in their first Euro 2020 qualifier, while Hudson-Odoi's introduction from the bench made him the Three Lions' youngest ever debutante in a competitive game (18y 135d).
Southgate's decision to promote young players to the senior squad has been widely praised, with the 48-year-old revealing that he wants to adopt a similar approach to that of Ferguson at United and the 'Class of 92' in helping them manage matters both on and off the field.
