England Squad Announced

The England squad to play Brazil next Saturday in an International friendly has been announced. The main news for Man United is that Michael Owen has yet again not been included in the squad. This isn’t much of a surprise, he hasn’t played that much for United, so why would he get into the England squad?

Ben Foster, Wes Brown, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney have all been included.
