Seven United players have been named in Steve McClaren's England
squad for October's Euro 2008 qualifiers against Macedonia and
Croatia.
Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney return after missing McClaren's first
two games through injury and suspension respectively.
They are joined by Rio Ferdinand, Wes Brown, Michael Carrick,
Kieran Richardson and Ben Foster in the 24-man party.
Reds midfielder Carrick is expected to be rivalled by Newcastle's
Scott Parker in the race to replace injury victim Owen Hargreaves
in the starting line-up.
The midfielder's cause has been championed by United assistant
manager Carlos Queiroz, who has been delighted by his form since
joining United from Tottenham.
"From my perspective Michael is doing well," he said. "His
adaptation process is in good progression.
"My opinion, and our opinion at the club is that hes doing
fantastically. I dont see any reasons why he wouldnt play, but
its Steve McClarens decision."
