Hayden Hackney lifts lid on emotional final words from Man Utd legend Michael Carrick after Boro sacking ahead of Euros
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HAYDEN HACKNEY admits it was bittersweet getting his European Championship call-up 24 hours after Middlesbrough mentor Michael Carrick was axed. He also revealed the encouraging final words his former boss had for him ahead of him flying out with the Young Lions to try and retain their Euro crown. 4 Hayden Hackney is part of the England U21 European Championship squad Credit: Alamy 4 Middlesbrough sacked Michael Carrick as boss this week Credit: Getty The 22-year-old Hackney, who SunSport exclusively revealed is being tracked by Tottenham, is in Slovakia preparing for England U21s' first group game against Czechia on Thursday. The midfielder has become one of the most-sought after players in the Championship after being handed a chance to blossom at his hometown club under Carrick. Hackney is chomping at the bit now to make his mark on the international stage after being selected by Lee Carsley - though he admitted that the news of the Manchester United legend's sacking soured it a little. He said: 'I found out Thursday I was in the squad and told my mum and dad and yeah I was buzzing. 'But also, yeah I was gutted about Michael Carrick to be honest. He's done loads for me. "He put his trust in me to play the majority of games and helped me so much with everything really. I can't thank him enough for that. 'I text him straight away wishing him all the best in the future and he replied wishing me good luck for going away with England. It was nice. 'It's probably the first manager that I've lost and I just wanted to thank him for everything. But now a new guy will come in, whoever that may be, and as a squad we'll go from there.'

Hackney finds himself alongside some big names from huge clubs all across the Continent in the England set-up. But the shy-Teessider admitted that after Carsley initially helped him settle into the camp, he now feels that he belongs on this stage too. Five EFL Championship stars destined for the Premier League Hackney, who previously represented Scotland U21s before switching and making his Young Lions debut in 2023, said: 'Lee Carsley was welcoming when I first came in. "When I'm on a training ground, he gives me tips and he's just put his trust in me to go out there and play. 'Oviously, when I first came in, I didn't know what to expect but once the first session was out of the way, you get into it. It's really good. We're all good mates and really get on with each other. 'Now my main goal at this tournament is just to play really. Grasp the experience, take it all in and do as well as we can and obviously the main objective is to win it. 'That'd be unbelievable. Obviously there's a long way to go but if we could do that then it'd be special.' And he doesn't have to look far for much inspiration. Fellow Teessider, Boro man and big pal Dael Fry, 27, won both the U17 European Championship and U20 World Cup with England. 4 Hackney added: 'Dael at Boro still speaks a lot about his time with England. He says how much he enjoyed the whole experience of it all, all the competitions and some of the players he played with have gone on to do some unbelievable stuff. 'He has just said how it's a great experience and to savour it.' England kick-off their Euro campaign against the Czech Republic on Thursday. They then face Slovenia three days later and finish the group stage against Germany on Wednesday 18 June with all of the Young Lions' matches being broadcast on Channel 4.

Spurs yet to approach Brentford over taking Thomas Frank as Mauricio Pochettino rules himself out of return to London
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRENTFORD are yet to hear from Tottenham over Thomas Frank, while Mauricio Pochettino has taken himself out of contention for a return to North London. Spurs have made Dane Frank their top target to succeed Ange Postecoglou and are expected to make their move this week. 4 Thomas Frank is Tottenham's top target to take over as manager Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Ange Postecoglou was sacked this week Credit: Getty They reached out to Frank's representatives while Europa League-winning chief Postecoglou was still in his job. But SunSport understands there is still yet to be contact between the two clubs. Frank has a pricey release clause - though it is believed to be less than the £10million mooted - and it remains to be seen if the Bees would be amenable to an offer below the set amount. The 51-year-old is understood to be interested in taking over from Postecoglou, who was sacked on Friday despite ending Spurs' 17-year trophy drought last month. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL GROUND BREAKING Premier League stadiums of the future with eight clubs splashing out £6bn Frank has worked wonders since taking charge at Brentford in 2018, winning them promotion and earning two top-ten finishes in the Premier League, including this season. He is currently the third longest-serving manager in the top four tiers of English football, behind Simon Weaver of Harrogate Town and Manchester City icon Pep Guardiola. Ex-Brondby boss Frank and Spurs' technical director Johan Lange go way back, having shared an office together when coaching at Copenhagen-based side Lyngby two decades ago. Should Spurs manage to hire Frank, it could see them hijack Manchester United's move for Bryan Mbeumo. 4 Tottenham could hijack Man Utd's move for Bryan Mbeumo is Frank arrives as boss CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS The Cameroonian, who has also been a target for Newcastle, has just had his best season ever, netting 20 Premier League goals. Ipswich chief Kieran McKenna would be a leading contender to take over from Frank if a vacancy arises in West London. BBC star shares shock theory as to why Tottenham waited exactly 16 days after Europa League win to sack Ange Postecoglou But SunSport understands the ex-Spurs academy coach would not be the only name in the frame. Fulham boss Marco Silva has also been considered by Spurs as a possible target, but has fallen behind Frank in the order of preference. An emotional return for USA manager Mauricio Pochettino had been suggested, but the Spurs hero has now ruled out making it happen - claiming a summer move is "not realistic". Poch, who took Spurs to the Champions League final during a five-year spell as boss between 2014 and 2019, is currently tied down to a contract as boss of the US national team. The Argentine, 53, is just a year away from the World Cup which takes place in the States, Canada and Mexico, and had been tasked with leading the US to glory. Rubbishing the idea of a return to Spurs, Poch said: 'After I left in 2019, every time that I was free, and the place of the position of the manager or head coach in Tottenham Hotspur, my name is appearing on the list. 'If you have seen the rumours, I think there are 100 coaches in the list. I think, don't be worried about that. 'If something happened, for sure you will see, but we cannot talk about this type of thing, because I think today, it's not real. 'It's not realistic. Look at where I am, where we are. And the thing is, the answer is so clear, no? But we're talking about it because it's my club, like Newells or Espanyol.'
