Mailbag: Which players will define this decade?

Zidane and Ronaldo in the 2000s. Messi and Ronaldo in the 2010s. But who’s going to define this decade of world football? Marcus, Jim and Andy run through the contenders, from Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal to future four-time Champions League winner Scott McTominay.

We also have a cracking discussion about who could succeed Harry Kane as England captain. Has Declan Rice emerged as the favourite? And does Jude Bellingham’s fiery character hurt his chances? Elsewhere, which manager will turn perceptions around next year and what’s the best signature celebration in football history? Apart from Speller at Old Trafford, obviously.
