Gareth Southgate hails Old Trafford buzz with the England boss praising the 'significant' connection between supporters and the Three Lions squad

Gareth Southgate has hailed playing at Old Trafford as ‘exceptional’ for England as they romped to a 7-0 victory in front of a full house on Monday night.

‘It was brilliant from the minute we came out to warm up,’ Southgate said. ‘There was a buzz around the stadium. It was exceptional. I feel it is really important we play not just for a part of England but all of England.

‘I doubt Trent Alexander-Arnold will get a standing ovation taking a corner at Old Trafford again. That is significant because I have played at England stadiums where players have been booed because they are from the wrong clubs.
