“I think they’ve come on leaps and bounds this year, I’m really impressed, ” Steve McManaman told Liverpool Echo.

“There’s a lot of young kids here and you forget that and they’re all doing really well.

“Sheyi [Ojo], Ryan Kent and Harry Wilson, when they attack players, they’re very, very confident and they’re playing very well.”
