Fabio Capello Relies On Young Red Devils 29/08/2011
Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley, Ashley Young and Wayne Rooney have all been handed senior England call-ups by International manager Fabio Capello, for the upcoming Euro 2012 Qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales. Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and Danny Welbeck all miss out... United annihilated a hopeless Arsenal side 8-2 at Old Trafford on Sunday, with England Internationals Danny Welbeck, Ashley Young and Wayne Rooney all making their way on the scoresheet a total of 6 times. Ben Amos - along with Phil Jones and Welbeck - were included in the England U-21 squad last week, but Fabio Capello has nicked Jones from Stuart Pearce, and Welbeck is unable to play due to a hamstring injury suffered at the weekend.

Chris Smalling, Jones, Tom Cleverley, Young and Rooney all form part of the 25-man party. The first three mentioned - Smalling, Jones and Cleverley - are expected to make their senior bows for The Three Lions.

At the start of this transfer window i was obsessed with the whole Sneijder/Man Utd saga, and although I wouldn't mind it if we signed him I now have full faith in the likes of Welbeck and Cleverley, bottom line, we don't need any new players now. Exciting times ahead! Comments are closed. |
