Four United Players In England Squad



Manchester United have had an awful week and don't play again until the 5th April due to International fixtures. Four Manchester United players have been called up into Fabio Capello's England squad.


Ben Foster, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney are all in the squad. Wes Brown would normally be named but he is still currently injured. Gary Neville has been ill aswell so I didn't expect him to be named.


It is fantastic to hear that Foster has been called up, Sir Alex Ferguson and many United supporters believe that Foster will become England's number one. Hopefully if he gets a chance he can show Capello what a class goalkeeper he is.


Many people believe that if you loose a match then it is best to get the next one over and done with and United have quite a bit of a break until we play our next game but that could be a good thing. If the players get some good results Internationally then may'be they will forget about how bad they have played and get a bit more confidence.


England squad:
Goalkeepers: David James (Portsmouth), Robert Green (West Ham United), Ben Foster (Manchester United).


Defenders: Leighton Baines (Everton), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Joleon Lescott (Everton), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), John Terry (Chelsea), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Glen Johnson (Portsmouth), Matthew Upson (West Ham United), Ledley King (Tottenham Hotspur).
