McClaren thinks England fans can look forward with confidence despite the disappointment of Sunday's defeat to Italy.

"This is an unbelievable squad," he told BBC Radio 5 live.

"Gareth has given us a team to be proud of, he has united the nation and he has given us hope for the future and in the future there is hope."

There's two sides to every story of course.

There were scenes of joyous celebration in Rome on Monday as the triumphant Italy team returned home.

It is their first European Championship since 1968 and comes just three years after they failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup.

It's been quite a turnaround by boss Roberto Mancini.

United have already confirmed they have agreed a deal in principle with Borussia Dortmund for the 21-year-old and now the loose ends of the transfer need to be tied up.

In addition, the Old Trafford club have spoken with the representatives of Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane as they look to bolster their defensive options.

Rui Patricio is set to leave Wolves for Roma in a complicated goalkeeper switch that will see Jose Sa move to Molineux from Olympiakos.

Jose Mourinho targeted Portugal’s Euro 2020 keeper, who has a year left on his Wolves contract.

It is understood Roma will pay £10m for Patricio.

Sa is another Portuguese keeper, who joined Olympiakos from Porto, initially on loan, in 2018.

The 28-year-old has been cleared to join Wolves after Olympiakos reached an agreement with Tomas Vaclik, who left Sevilla at the end of the season.

Here's more from Nedum Onuoha showing his support for Marcus Rashford.

"To be able to express yourself in those emotions 24 hours after what just happened.

"I'm fully backing him to bounce back."

Nedum Onuoha
Former Manchester City defender on BBC Radio 5 Live

Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha was on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club programme last night and he said he could see the racist abuse coming but that does not mean we should gloss over it.

"The predictability of it doesn't mean that we should just gloss over it because that really really highlights how bad the situation actually is.

"The people who will go out and say what they say, they think it's just because they missed penalties but their views don't come because they missed the penalties, the views were there beforehand.

"But now they think that this is an avenue to be able to go out and say whatever they want because they've been wronged by this person."

BBC Breakfast reporter Sally Nugent has tweeted the latest image of the Marcus Rashford mural, where more messages of love and support have been left in honour of the Manchester United and England striker.

As you can imagine, the fall-out from England's defeat dominates the back pages...

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said he was not sure those who broke in to Wembley were real fans.

"There were a large number of drunken yobs trying to force their way in, we run a stadium not a fortress," he said.

"I have to apologise to any fans whose experience was affected and any of the team who had to cope with this."

He said the FA would work with the police to ban anyone who had forced their way in and to prevent such an event happening again.

Downing Street has criticised those who stormed the stadium without tickets.

The prime minister's official spokesman said: "Those scenes were unacceptable and we condemn violence, anti-social behaviour and abuse in the strongest possible terms."

There were also unsavoury scenes outside Wembley as a number of ticketless fans attempted to break in to Wembley

The Football Association (FA) says it will conduct a full review after a "large number of drunken yobs" fought with stewards and police as they attempted to break through gates.

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham apologised to legitimate fans who were affected and said the security team had "never seen anything like it".

The Metropolitan Police said it worked with security to prevent breaches.

Marcus Rashford apologised for his penalty shootout miss but said he "will never apologise for who I am" after he was one of three players subjected to racist abuse.

"I felt as if I'd let everyone down," he wrote in a statement.

"I can take critique of my performance all day long, my penalty was not good enough, it should have gone in but I will never apologise for who I am and where I came from.

"I've felt no prouder moment than wearing those three lions on my chest and seeing my family cheer me on in a crowd of 10s of thousands."
