Wayne Rooney has given a damning assessment of England's performances at Euro 2024 so far - and has suggested where they must improve.
The Three Lions are unbeaten in their two games in Group C, having beaten Serbia 1-0 before a 1-1 draw with Denmark.
But Gareth Southgate's side have largely failed to impress since their opening 30 minutes against Serbia, during which Jude Bellingham scored and England dominated possession.
They were put under large amounts of pressure late on against Serbia and were indebted to strong performances from Marc Guehi and Jordan Pickford.

Against Denmark, England appeared to lack urgency for large periods, and Harry Kane's first half goal was cancelled out by Morten Hjulmand's long-distance strike before the interval.
Southgate came in for heavy criticism over England's style of play after the draw - and Rooney has now given his verdict on how the Three Lions have played so far by using a damning comparison.
Writing in his column for The Times, Rooney explained: "Watching England play at this tournament, I see Manchester City.
"But not the City who have just reeled off four consecutive Premier League titles with their brilliant football. They're like City, except without the timing. And without the pressing strategy. And the width.
"Think about how City press, or Arsenal, or many of the leading teams. You see them forcing the opposition to one side and setting traps, but England aren't doing that. They seem a bit lost from this point of view.
"England have to be more on the front foot, but also press smarter.
"At times, it looks like they're just running to the ball and Gareth and Steve Holland have to identify which side of the pitch they want to go to and then really condense the space and press from there. I'm not seeing the co-ordination you need.
"Harry Kane is being criticised but I don't think we're seeing a lack of work from him. At the moment, because of the lack of co-ordination, he is just running to the centre-back or goalkeeper, they're passing round him, and he's out of the game."
