ENGLAND’S U21 team can beat Scotland’s first XI and Mason Greenwood is better than any of their players.
That is the bold statement of Simon Jordan as he hailed the quality of England’s youngsters.
The outspoken pundit was reacting to Che Adams being called up for Scotland.
Jordan told talkSPORT: “What are you thinking? Do you really want to be part of that debacle of Scotland at the Euros?!
“He’s thinking, ‘where am I guaranteed to play because the quality is so low that I’ll get in every time the squad is picked’?
“I’m not disrespectful about Scotland, I’m honest. I’ve said before that England Under-21s could beat Scotland’s first team, and I don’t climb down from that.
“Look at the quality of our U21s, I think that is genuinely true.
“Mason Greenwood is better than anything you’ve got in your first XI, better than anything in the Scotland team!”
Aidy Boothroyd has selected a very strong England U21 squad for next week’s Uefa U21 Euro finals group stage.

Manchester United striker Greenwood will lead the attack with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Emile Smith Rowe also set to feature.
Arsenal ace Smith Rowe is picked in the U21 squad for the first time as the wealth of talent England can call upon was highlighted.
And the rising stars have the chance to make a late case for a senior spot at this summer’s rescheduled Euro 2020 if they can impress against Croatia, Portugal and Switzerland this month.
