Discussing what it would be like for the likes of Harry Winks to play in front of Maradona, Henry said: "It'll be fantastic. I think he can do it again.

"He was very good the other day against Real Madrid away from home but can he stay in the team?

"Can he have a long season or even two or three?

"I have seen Tom Carroll, Ryan Mason in the squad and then they left.

"That's the next thing for him. We've seen him raise his game for one or two but can he do it for a whole season?"
