Greenwood and Bellingham have so much quality. Whether they are 18 or 28 or 38 they've got quality and when you've got quality you're going to be in the team, providing you can apply the right attitude.

Just the attackers I'm training with - Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane. When I was in the England youth team, they are the players I used to watch when we came over to watch first-team training. Or I'd watch them on YouTube. You can learn different things from them - movement, passing.
