The Ashes series begins at Cardiff's Swalec Stadium on 8 July and Jones has described the current England set-up as "shambolic."

"Where we are at the moment is not a good place - it's a mess," he said. "We have a lot of talent but if you haven't got guidance then you've got nothing."

Paul Farbrace will be in temporary charge for the Test series against New Zealand - which starts on Thursday - after coach Peter Moores was sacked.

In 1985, Manchester United's Kevin Moran became the first man to be sent off in an FA Cup final. Despite that, though, his side went on to beat Everton 1-0 thanks to Norman Whiteside's famous goal - curled beautifully into the corner of the net from wide on the right.

Louis van Gaal has said it would be "difficult" for goalkeeper David De Gea to turn down a move to Real Madrid.

But if you were a footballer, what is the one club that could tempt you to move and why?

We're not interested in your Barcelonas and Real Madrids; we want to know why you couldn't say no to Bury and why the lure of Dundee United is too much to resist.
