The Sheffield United manager, speaking on Sky Sports, praised his goalkeeper's attitude and ability - after the on-loan Manchester United man was robbed of a likely Euro 2020 spot when the tournament was postponed due to coronavirus.

And Wilder said: "I think he will be, 100 per cent. He's pushing now.

"He's a young boy and we talk about the mistakes he has made, but he gets over them.

"He's a charismatic guy with attitude but the biggest thing is, he's got a mental strength to play in goal, which is a hugely difficult position to play.

"And he has a brilliant attitude and ability too. I have no doubt that down the line he will certainly be pushing, and gaining that England shirt that he is desperate to get."
