James Milner is a very popular man on Merseyside at the moment; partly due to his impressive performances for Liverpool and partly because his relatively new social media presence.

The midfielder, who has won four major trophies in his career, moved to Anfield from Manchester City in 2015.

The 32-year-old has always been known as a reliable member of the team, who will do the job required with no questions asked.

For the majority of last season, Milner was deployed at left-back but in the current campaign, manager Jurgen Klopp has moved the former Aston Villa player back into his traditional position.

In recent matches, particularly in the Champions League, Milner has been in fine form, which has not gone unnoticed by Liverpool fans.

In fact, following Tuesday night’s 5-2 victory over Roma in the first leg of the Reds’ Champions League semi-final, the midfielder has eight assists in the tournament - the most made in a single season.

With the World Cup in Russia just around the corner, Liverpool fans think that England manager Gareth Southgate should try to convince Milner to come out of retirement.

The former City star hanged up his international boots in the summer of 2016.
