In the early hours of the Europa League, England take on Slovakia on Monday (1) but are unexpectedly in the spotlight. The rise of Manchester United starlet Minnay seems to be heralding a change, and is he wise to challenge for the position of Connor Garrick? The 19-year-old midfielder has been on a hot streak of form recently, with a training "King of the Balls" clip sparking internet debate, could he be the turning point for England?

The England team is full of stars, but lacks a dominant spirit in the group stage. The team leader, Shuufki, is hesitant to choose a midfielder, and Alexander Arnott and Gunnar Garrincha in the first two rounds have failed to show the desired effect. Minnay, who had a strong showing in the two group games, will reportedly partner with Dee Glen Rais to guard the midfield.

Minnae's outstanding performance in training, especially in the "King of Balls" movie, has brought him into the limelight. He has inherited the mantle of Gomes, as he cleverly fakes and turns his way out of challenges from his ancestor. The midfielder's energy and impact are expected to energize England's attack. Manchester United's renowned player Scorsese even said bluntly, "Minnay will allow England to play real soccer, while Zudi Binningham and Phil Cotton will help England win the game."
