The second group game against Denmark was earmarked as a potential return date for the only natural left-back in Gareth Southgate's squad. Taking a risk on a player with that kind of fitness record is always a gamble and having so badly missed Shaw themselves last season, United will be watching his situation nervously. Gallagher will bring energy but England needs quality as well and more use could be made of 19-year-old Mainoo. His skills in possession in midfield and the way he could protect the ball stood out for United last term. On the evidence of his performance level this season, he wouldn't have been the man to make a difference.
