Luke Shaw has said it will be “naive” if England become obsessed by the danger posed by Kylian Mbappe.
Even in the immediate aftermath of the thumping victory over Senegal, thoughts turned to how Gareth Southgate’s side can stop the tournament’s outstanding player, a striker who leads the race for the Golden Boot with five goals, including two sensational efforts against Poland in the last 16.
Shaw and his England team-mates watched the Mbappe late show live before taking the field against Senegal, and the Manchester United defender was suitably impressed. He said: “We managed to watch the end of the (France) game on the coach and after his (Mbappe’s) performance, there is going to be even more chat about him, and we know he is a world-class player.
