Scholes Urges Tuchel to Include Arsenal's Dowman for World Cup

In a recent episode of the "Good Bad Football" podcast, former Manchester United legend Paul Scholes called on England head coach Thomas Tuchel to consider including Arsenal's 16-year-old midfielder Max Dowman in the final squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Scholes expressed admiration for Dowman, describing him as a "truly special talent" and highlighting his exceptional skills.

He compared Dowman to Spain's Lamin Yamal, suggesting that Tuchel is the type of coach who would be brave enough to take such a decision. Scholes's comments reflect a growing recognition of Dowman's potential in English football, as he advocates for the inclusion of young talent in the national team setup ahead of the prestigious tournament.
