Man Utd fullback Shaw urges England to rally and focus on World Cup

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw says England must rally and now focus on the World Cup after losing the Euro 2020 final.

Shaw says it was a “big blow" they could not win the Euros after reaching the final but insisted they want to go one better in Qatar in 18 months' time.

Shaw said: “We made the nation proud and that's very important to us. It wasn't what we wanted or what they wanted.

“But I still think it brought joy to people, brought some smiles and even though we ended on a low, the experience we had as a team, with the fans we had here will be memories we won't forget.

“But as a team, we can always keep improving. The good thing about the group is that there's a lot of young players in the squad that are only going to mature, grow up and gain experiences from this.

"Like I said, he experience will only grow with the younger players who will learn and gain experience each time.

“This is a big blow, it will hurt for a while but we're back in camp next month, towards the end of the month, a new adventure is the World Cup and we want to qualify for that. Like I said, there's things to improve upon on as a team but I'm sure we'll get there."
