The retired defender told : "There’s not getting away from it he’s on the outskirts of the England team but knowing there’s a WC coming up, if he can get the right move, go back to the form that we know he’s capable of, he might be in within a slim shout of making the squad. “He’s shown enough to David Moyes of what he’s capable of when he was on loan. I thought he was outstanding. The biggest surprise for me was that he didn’t move then and he decided to go back to Manchester United because we knew his time was going to be limited on the pitch. It was always going to be difficult for him. “I think West Ham are going in the right direction at this moment in time, you look at the likes of Bowen, Antonio, they’re trying to add to that. If they can bring Lingard into the equation as well it’s a different type of player to bring in to the team." Paul Merson predicts the result of Newcastle vs Chelsea and other EPL GW 16 fixtures!
