Middlesbrough are due a bonus payment after Manchester City winger Adam Johnson made his England debut against Mexico.

Johnson's England debut cost Manchester City a staggering £200,000 per minute.

City's £8m winger, 22, pressed his World Cup claims as a late sub in England's 3-1 win over Mexico on Monday.

But his five-minute cameo triggered a £1m incentive payment to former club Middlesbrough.

The cash injection is a welcome boost to Boro boss Gordon Strachan's summer transfer fund.
