Man Utd left-back Shaw reveals England practicing penalties for Euro 2020

Manchester United left back Luke Shaw admits all the England players are practicing penalties ahead of Euro 2020.

The Three Lions have been knocked out by spot kicks on more than one occasion at an international tournament.

Shaw, whose club United lost on penalties to Villarreal in the Europa League final, hopes they will be ready if there is a shootout at some stage of the European Championships.

Speaking to reporters, per Sky Sports, Shaw said: "I think to win in major tournaments they'll maybe be a time when you're going to have a penalty shootout and we're going to have to be ready for it.

"Of course the last two we've had we've won them both, which is obviously extremely positive and is going in the right direction.

"But for sure we're going to be practising them. No matter how far the knockout stages are, we need to be ready and practice makes perfect.

"We need to practise what sort of penalties we're going to do and be ready for that situation when it comes, so that we're not scrambling about thinking where we're going to put it or who's going to take what."
