And additional reports show him criticising predecessor Roy Hodgson for not telling Neville to "shut up" during the humiliating defeat against Iceland.

Allardyce was filmed by  saying: “They were arguing for ten minutes about bringing him [Marcus Rashford] on, him [Hodgson] and Gary Neville.

“So Gary was the wrong influence for him… f***ing, tell Gary to sit down and shut up, you do what you want.

“You’re the manager, you do what you want, not what anyone else wants.”

Allardyce also appeared to mock Hodgson when asked if the boss - who was sacked along with Neville this summer - had any outside income from speaking deals.

He was captured saying: “No, he wouldn’t want to, he’d send them all to sleep, Roy. Woy. He hasn’t got the personality for it.”

 

The FA are set to investigate the claims made against Allardyce.

England next match is a 2018 World Cup qualifier against Malta on October 8 at Wembley.
