      Watch Niall Ennis’ cheeky goal for England Under 17s set up by Mason Mount as he gets set to face Chelsea pal in FA Cup

      by

      NIALL ENNIS has been inspired by how old pals Mason Mount and Trevoh Chalobah rose to stardom at Chelsea.And the Plymouth striker believes he will join his former England youth team-mates in the Premier League.
      Plymouth star Niall Ennis is looking forward to facing his old England youth pal Mason Mount
      Mount is a key player now for Chelsea
      [embedded content]
      Ennis, 22, is looking forward to seeing the pair on Saturday as his League One side travel to Stamford Bridge in the FA Cup.
      Chalobah used to be his room-mate while Mount set up a memorable goal for Ennis – a classy back-heel in England Under-17s’ 2-1 win over Germany in November 2015. 
      The Pilgrims ace said: “It was the first time a game I was involved in was televised live. Mason scored the first goal and I got the second.
      “Mason was always good – mentally driven and, coming from Chelsea, of course technically sound.
      “But you could tell that if he was given a chance in a top team he’d take it. He has done that – and a lot of that is down to himself.
      “Before Frank Lampard came along as manager, not many youngsters were getting an opportunity at Chelsea – so he decided to drop into the Championship for a season’s loan at Derby.

      “And that gave him a platform to show how good he was in one of the most demanding divisions in the world.”
      Ennis bucks the trend among many in his age group who are obsessed with social media – instead believing it paints a false picture that making it to the top is easy and instant.
      The Pilgrims striker insists not only did Mount and Chalobah have to work ridiculously hard to break into a Chelsea first-team full of internationals, they had to drop out of the glamour surroundings of the West London club to make their case.
      While Mount went to Derby, Chalobah also dropped into the EFL with loan spells at Ipswich and Huddersfield.
      That is why Ennis decided to bite the bullet last summer to leave Wolves and join Plymouth – having previously had loan spells at Shrewsbury, Doncaster and Burton.
      He said: “Not everyone goes straight to the top and it’s about being honest with yourself. We’re in this day and age where you go on social media and it looks so simple – but it’s not.
      Ennis hopes to join Mount one day in the Premier League
      “When you’re about 15, you just think the path is going to be straight up without bumps on the road.
      “But sometimes you must take a step down into the Championship or League One or Two to prove yourself and work your way up.
      “In England’s starting XI for last year’s Euro final, only Declan Rice and Raheem Sterling had not dropped into the EFL. 
      “So many people aren’t aware of the backgrounds of our top players and how they’ve had to work their way up.
      “Not everyone is going to be like Phil Foden, who went straight into the Premier League at Manchester City.
      Not everyone goes straight to the top and it’s about being honest with yourselfNiall Ennis
      “At Wolves, I knew I wasn’t yet Prem standard so needed to play at a level where I could develop and prove myself – rather than just lurking about in the under-23s.
      “For me, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. I know all about my ability and it’s going to happen. I must remain patient.”
      Ennis has fond memories of Chalobah, who captained the England teams in his age group.
      He said: “I shared a room with Trevoh at St George’s Park on a few camps. He’s a good guy, a superb player.
      “He was our captain. He played centre-back, sometimes right back and centre-midfield. He was a leader and coming from Chelsea he was technically always going to be good on the ball and defensively was excellent.
      “Mason and Trevoh play the exact same as they did then but have a lot more know-how with all the games under their belts.”
      Ennis is a realist and knows Argyle face an enormous task against the European champions, who will be heading out to Abu Dhabi after the game to compete at the Club World Cup.

      But the striker is a great lover of the FA Cup and grew up inspired by some of the giant killings that took place.
      He said: “I remember five years ago Wolves were a lower mid-table Championship team going to Liverpool and beating them. 
      “That result gave the whole club a boost and the next season they won promotion to the Premier League.
      “The FA Cup has been dying down a bit at the top level for some reason but for me it’s still important and a great competition.”  More

      How Man Utd could line up against Middlesbrough in FA Cup with Paul Pogba playing first game under Ralf Rangnick

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED are back in action against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on Friday.Boss Ralf Rangnick could look to make a statement and field a strong Red Devils team against the Championship outfit.

      Dean Henderson could make his third start of the season in goal.
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has found himself behind Diogo Dalot in recent games, could also return to the starting line-up.
      The right-back struggled with illness before the January break.
      Phil Jones was close to sealing a late loan move away from Man Utd, but the centre-back turned down a potential move to Bordeaux.

      And Luke Shaw is favourite to start with Alex Telles playing for Brazil just two days ago.
      Rangnick could change his midfield to a three instead of a two, and Nemanja Matic could be the holding man to start.
      The defensive midfielder could potentially allow the returning Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay to bomb forward.
      Rangnick doesn’t see Pogba as a winger due to his ‘physique’, his physical presence and technical assets.

      On Pogba, he said: “What I’ve seen so far, with regard to his physique, his physical presence, the technical assets he has, I think his best position is a central midfield position. I don’t see him that much as a winger.
      “By saying that, I wouldn’t say he cannot at all play that position. But we have quite a few players for the winger position right now.
      “I see his best possible position as central midfield, if it’s a no.6 or an 8, I have to see. I haven’t seen him play so far. If you ask me right now, probably the no.8 position.”
      Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho could start on the flanks.
      And Cristiano Ronaldo could start his first FA Cup game since February 2009.
      Alternatively, Rangnick could look to test the 4-2-2-2 again.
      Alternatively, Rangnick could look to test the 4-2-2-2 again
      In that case, Pogba could move into the two behind the strikers with Sancho.
      Rashford could move up front to partner Ronaldo.
      And Matic alongside McTominay could provide the backline with good defensive cover.

      ‘We’re not sight-seeing!’ – Boro boss Wilder BANS players from swapping shirts with Cristiano Ronaldo in FA Cup clash

      by

      He also warned them not to be star-struck by the POrtuguese legend or anyone else they faceCredit: Rex
      Wilder admits victory for the Championship club ‘wouldn’t be the biggest shock, but it would be a shock’ and promised that they would not get ‘fuzzy eyed’ when the teams are confirmed.
      And after claiming he wants to make it ‘dangerous’ for Ralf Rangnick’s United, he warned his underdogs it would not be a ‘sight-seeing’ tour.
      He said: “Their team sheet will come in the dressing room and it’ll be De Gea, Varane, Harry Maguire… let’s not crumble in that process!
      “They have some fabulous individuals that can hurt you, and hurt teams around Europe and the Premier League. A huge array of talent to choose from.
      “But it is not sight-seeing for our players. It is not a shirt-swapping situation. I don’t want people going to Old Trafford to enjoy the visit.
      “If they want a shirt, do it in the changing rooms after. We don’t want to be looking at them all fuzzy-eyed. They are up against a competitor.

      “I want them to play well. To give a good account of themselves and make it a competitive dangerous night for Manchester United.
      “If we play well we can do. If not it will be a comfortable night for Manchester United. No one wants that, me included.”
      Wilder, who has led Boro to eight wins from his 12 games in charge since replacing Neil Warnock, added: “This is an obligation to play well for our 9,000 fans at the game and those watching on TV. “There is a glint in the eye from the boys. Motivation levels are big. Playing in front of 75,000 is something they want. We want to go to Old Trafford on a regular basis in the seasons to come.
      “We need a structure and a shape so we are not picked off by world-class players but we will have an opportunity to play and we won’t be sitting on the crossbar for 95 minutes.
      “We have to be ambitious and aggressive when we have a chance to cause them problems.”
