'Absolute disgrace', 'music to my ears' - Fans react to England fans booing Jordan Henderson off the pitch

Many England fans have been left scratching their heads at Gareth Southgate’s insistence on including the 33-year-old in his international squad when there are so many young, talented midfielders more worthy of the call up.

Manager Gareth Southgate was shocked by the reaction to the long-serving England player and “couldn’t understand” the reaction, urging supporters to get behind the team.
