Morton looks to England to repair damaged confidence
Tyler Morton is repairing his confidence with the England Under-21s after the toughest season of his career. The Liverpool midfielder has helped the Young Lions reach the semi-finals of Euro 2025 after Saturday's 3-1 win over Spain. Morton, though, will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Netherlands in Bratislava after collecting his second yellow card of the success would come off the back of a frustrating campaign for the 22-year-old, who did not make a Premier League appearance as Liverpool won the title. He was restricted to just five appearances in cup competitions under Arne said: "When you're not playing, your confidence gets shut down a little bit. So, it's nice to come back and play here and play with unbelievable footballers, unbelievable youngsters."It's been the toughest season mentally for me. Obviously, I've coped with it very well because I've got good people around me, but it's been very tough. I think I've coped with it as well as I possibly could."I think when you're not playing as a footballer who's as hungry as I am, it does hurt. It's tough, especially when, in my opinion, I wanted to go out and I wanted to play and I wanted to go on loan and get my game time."But having chatted with the manager, having to stay, it could have worked out a lot worse than it did. It probably could have worked out a lot better than it did."Under-21 and Liverpool team-mate Harvey Elliott made just two league starts last season - and has admitted he needs to consider his future at Anfield - while Jarell Quansah only started four league games. Liverpool opted to keep Morton after Middlesbrough had a bid rejected in February but he has kept an open mind about the campaign. "Yes, the minutes have been very limited for all of us youngsters this year," he said. "But there's different playing styles with different managers. Yes, it's been a learning season. I think you've got to have these types of seasons where you're trying to learn."

Paul Pogba ‘agrees deal with next club' as ex-Man Utd star posts cryptic four-word message about return to football
PAUL POGBA appeared to drop a massive hint on his future after posting a picture wearing a REAL MADRID shirt alongside a cryptic message. Pogba, 32, is still without a team after agreeing the mutual termination of his contract at Juventus in November following his 18-month doping ban - but has now reportedly agreed terms with his next club. 7 7 The former Manchester United midfielder was slapped with an initial four-year ban for taking banned substance DHEA last year, but saw that punishment slashed to just 18 months after a successful appeal to the Court of Arbitration of Sport. Pogba has been able to return to football since March following the end of his ban. Now it looks like the World Cup winner has dropped a hint over where he could be heading next, after he posted photos of himself training in a Real Madrid shirt alongside the caption: "I think it's time". Fans are convinced that the cryptic post is confirmation that Pogba will be heading to the Bernabeu to join Madrid ahead of the new campaign. One wrote: "Pogba to Real Madrid - HERE WE GO". While another added: "Welcome to Real Madrid". 7 7 However, a switch to Madrid seems unlikely in reality - with reports suggesting that Pogba has already agreed a move to Ligue 1 club Monaco as his return to football. It's claimed by French outlet Le Parisien that Pogba will pen a two-year deal with Monaco ahead of the new campaign. The 91-time France international insisted he was still able to play at the top level in an interview in October, eyeing a return to the national team. He said: "That's what I hope [to play for France]. It's in my mind for sure but I have to be ready for that. "There's players there that deserve to be playing and deserve to be in the national team. "I have to win my place back in the team again." 7
