Gareth Southgate has been told he must take Trent Alexander-Arnold to Euro 2020 next month - as the Liverpool defender was compared to a trio of right-back legends.
With England boss Southgate watching on, Alexander-Arnold was in outstanding form in helping the Reds destroy Manchester United 4-2 at Old Trafford on Thursday to rekindle hopes of Champions League qualification.
The 22-year-old's participation at this summer's European Championships is in major doubt having been omitted from the last England squad, with Southgate favouring Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier and Reece James.
But the Three Lions manager has been urged not to overlook Alexander-Arnold again when he confirms his 26-man party on Tuesday week.
“I think Trent was amazing,” said former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino, speaking on talkSPORT's Weekend Sports Breakfast.
“I can’t think of too many better full-back performances – I’m going back to Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Philipp Lahm, I thought he was extraordinary on the night.
“His right foot is just a joy to watch, how dangerous it can be.
“I’ve heard that Gareth Southgate’s favourite right-back is Reece James, more than Kyle Walker."
Cascarino added: “Against Belgium and they had Eden Hazard and he was really fit – which he hasn’t been all year to be fair – but if he was and he was up against Trent, I’d be worried about Trent.
“But I just can’t imagine how you can leave someone so good, especially if you need to beat teams and someone who needs to make a difference – Trent would have to go! He would have to, for me."
