Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw has admitted that he and his England teammates want to continue working with manager Gareth Southgate, regardless of the outcome of Saturday's huge World Cup quarter-final against France in Qatar.
After comfortably seeing off Senegal in the last-16 on Sunday, England must now get the better of the reigning World Cup holders to try and reach the semi-finals of a third major tournament in succession. The Three Lions reached the semi-finals of the last World Cup four-and-a-half years ago and reached the final of the European Championship last year.
Although an elusive trophy is still missing under Southgate, England have made significant progress under the former Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough defender. Prior to the 2018 World Cup, the Three Lions had won just one knockout match at a major tournament since 2004, compared to the six they have won in the last three tournaments under Southgate.
