And how you can be English and not care about your country's team is beyond me. I want the best players to play for England, and Carrick is one of the best English midfielders.
Plus it would make Carrick happy , so it should make us happy.
We used to hold French flags when Eric played for us, and we sing Argentina Argentina for a player who deserves to hear it named Tevez.
I would also like to see Evra play for France, Anderson for Brazil etc, because only the best players play for their countries and only the best players play for United.

Well put. I'm an American and even though my national side are absolute shit, I can guarantee that I will always support them (and England as I lived there for a while as well). I can certainly understand the frustration at the anti-United treatment at times from the FA and other English supporters, but not supporting the players on the field or not wanting United players to play for their country is going a bit too far, and missing the mark, really.
