Glen Johnson claims he'd start over Kieran Trippier for England and says Marcus Rashford should be coming off the bench ahead of Callum Wilson. The former Liverpool defender, who made 54 caps for his country, was part of England's Euro 2012 side that was knocked out of the tournament by Italy and then called up to the 2014 World Cup squad.
The Newcastle United duo have both been in fine form for their club this season, with Trippier the highest-rated performer for Eddie Howe's side, according to WhoScored. Despite being impressed by the Toon defender, Johnson claims he'd start ahead of the Magpies full-back in his prime.
Speaking to Genting Casino, he said: "I'd 100% fancy my chances to start ahead of Trippier in my prime, but I'm 38 now! I'm impressed with Trippier, he's a good player, technically good and great for set-pieces, but I would be confident of starting ahead of him."
