Greenwood's inclusion in England's Under-21 squad explained by Boothroyd

Aidy Boothroyd has explained the decision to select Manchester United teenager Mason Greenwood for England's Under-21s rather than in Gareth Southgate's senior squad.

The 19-year-old has made his senior England debut already but has been included in Boothroyd's squad for the European Under-21 Championship in the March and April international break.

It comes after a period of being left out by England at any level after he and Phil Foden broke Covid protocols in Iceland. Now, all parties want Greenwood to move forward and establish himself for his country once again.
