Former England boss Sven Goran Eriksson says Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard should be in England's Euros squad.

Lingard enjoyed an outstanding six months on-loan with West Ham this season, though was axed from England's final Euros line-up.

Eriksson said, “It's a surprise that Lingard's not there because even to have him on the bench with his pace and one-on-one ability, he's a clever footballer.

“He had a good season with West Ham. I didn't see him play every game, but the games I saw, he has been very good.

“It's always difficult. At the end, you can only pick the number [of players] that you're allowed to pick. Someone will be disappointed, it's always like that."
