Former England midfielder Paul Scholes has backed Thomas Tuchel to get it right with England because he has the aura of a winner.The German's appointment has sparked a debate over the lack of English candidates for the job, with Newcastle boss Eddie Howe and former Chelsea and Brighton counterpart Graham Potter the leading contenders from that field.However, Scholes believes neither yet has the proven track record to compete with Tuchel.Scholes said: "I think they would be able to do it, but they don't have the credentials.
They won't have the same presence, like Thomas Tuchel."England are good until they play a good team. Thomas Tuchel, he's proven."The paths England have had to get through to finals has been quite simple.
