Roberto Carlos was impressed by an England star at the European Championship and expects the Three Lions to be World Cup challengers

Roberto Carlos considers Luke Shaw to have been "the best player" at Euro 2020, with the Manchester United and England left-back earning the nickname 'Shawberto Carlos' on the back of some eye-catching displays for club and country.

That moniker had already been bestowed upon the rejuvenated 26-year-old before he linked up with the Three Lions for European Championship duty.

His reputation was enhanced during a memorable run to the final of a major international tournament, with the Red Devils defender providing three assists and a goal before suffering penalty shootout heartache against Italy.
