Mason Greenwood is focused on Manchester United s bid for Europa League glory as his late season form continues to propel talk of an England recall for Euro 2020.
The 19-year-old enjoyed a breakout season at Old Trafford last term, his 17 goals making it the joint most prolific season for a teenager in United s history – level with George Best (1965-66), Brian Kidd (1967-68) and Wayne Rooney (2004-05).
He found the going somewhat tougher this time around and had five goals in 39 appearances across all competitions heading into the March international break, when he failed to make Gareth Southgate s squad.
Since April 1, Greenwood has eight goals in 11 games, with six in seven in the Premier League making him the division s joint-top scorer alongside Burnley s C…
Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse has signed a new five-year contract with the Premier League side.
The 25-year-old joined the club as an eight-year-old and has spent the past eight seasons as part of their first team.
He played every minute of the Saints Premier League campaign in 2019-20 and took over the captaincy from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the closing stages of the campaign.
Southampton confirmed on their official website on Monday that twice-capped England international Ward-Prowse has now agreed to stay on until 2025.

Everton playmaker Mikel Arteta has now became eligible for dual-citizenship.
That means because he has lived in England for five years and hasn’t represented Spain at international level he could turn out for the Three Lions.
Intent
Arteta hasn’t yet made his feelings known on the subject and that’s a crucial fact in this situation.
I don’t think he has given up on playing for Spain but the lure of international football could persuade him to decide to represent England.
I can’t see him suddenly changing his allegiances from Spain to England though.
Not-Cricket
People who are for the switch state the England cricket team as a parallel. The England cricket team has given the chance to South African’s to play internation…
Ross McCrorie is looking to build on a momentous week in his career by winning his first Scotland cap during this month’s Euro 2024 qualifiers.
The versatile defender was called up to the Scotland squad on Monday in place of Celtic right-back Anthony Ralston.
The 25-year-old then completed a move from Aberdeen to Bristol City on Tuesday before flying out to Spain to join his international colleagues for a training camp ahead of games against Norway and Georgia.
Signed, sealed, delivered.

Adriano Galliani has praised M Baye Niang after the attacker scored his first Serie A goals for AC Milan in a 4-1 win over Sampdoria on Saturday and has taken credit for preventing the Frenchman from joining Genoa on a permanent basis.
Niang who scored twice and set up another to help Sinisa Mihajlovic s men to a comfortable win at San Siro spent the second half of last season on loan at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris and Genoa were apparently keen to hold of him beyond that temporary spell.
I would like to praise Niang in particular. He was fantastic and he is just 20 years old, Galliani told reporters.
I brought Niang to the club at a young age and last year I resisted the interest of Genoa, who wanted an option to buy him during his loan spell. But we didn t give…
Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera, .
The 24 year old has a release clause which is set to rise to £33.5m next week, though incoming United boss Louis van Gaal has acted fast to secure a deal at his current buy-out price, with a four year deal on the table worth around £9.2m.
Herrera, who began his career with Zaragoza was close to signing for the then Premier League champions twelve months ago, though the protracted transfer fell through in farcical circumstances amid reports of fake lawyers attempting to negotiate a deal.
In two seasons with Bilbao, he has made eighty-nine appearances in all competitions, scoring six goals and finishing as runner up in both the Copa Del Rey and the Europa League in…

Chile s Marcelo Diaz believes the Confederations Cup is the perfect opportunity for La Roja to break new ground as they prepare to meet Cameroon in their Group B opener.
The Copa America champions have never before featured at the tournament and are the sixth side from their continent to participate.
Juan Antonio Pizzi s men sealed their place courtesy of a penalty shoot-out success over Argentina in the 2015 Copa on home soil – a feat they repeated 12 months later in the special centenary edition of the competition.
Cameroon, meanwhile, take their place in Russia by virtue of their fifth Africa Cup of Nations triumph, secured with a 2-1 win over Egypt in the final in February.

can be a huge grind depending on how you play it, and this grind puts off just as many potential Minecraft devotees as it attracts. With the right items, you can whittle that grind down and make Minecraft less about mining, more about crafting. An anvil takes a lot of resources, but the enchantment and renaming abilities make it worthwhile. Your first enchantment table will take a while to build, but its fuel–Lapis Lazuli and XP–are plentiful and easily gained, and both can turn your tools into reliable, long-term frie…
Michael O’Neill has told his young Northern Ireland players to embrace the challenge of taking on Denmark in Copenhagen on Friday night.
O’Neill said this Euro 2024 qualifier was not only the hardest fixture on paper but the “hardest fixture full stop” as Northern Ireland travel to take on the top seeds in Group H at the always noisy Parken Stadium.
Jamal Lewis has been added to an already lengthy injury list which has robbed O’Neill of half a dozen of his most experienced players, and with Shane Ferguson also out there is a shortage of left-sided players.

O’Neill will try to get as much experience as he can into his starting 11, but there will be no option but to rely on younger players too,…
