Jarrod Bowen was one small detail away from living out his ultimate dream on his England debut. Pulling on the famous Three Lions badge was a fairytale experience for the West Ham star, as it is for plenty of people throughout the land.
Pretty much anyone who grew up as a football fanatic the late 1990s and early 2000s had one thing on their mind; to become the next David Beckham and wear the No.7 for England. Of course, Beckham also wore it with distinction for Manchester United and Bowen came so close against Hungary to doing so for England.
He had to settle for another shirt number, but that will matter little to the England newcomer, even if he was on the right-wing for his country. Yet it was Bowen's post-match comments that might have most caught the eye for United supporters before their impending rebuild this summer.
