Gary Neville has claimed Fabio Capello became 'a little bit desperate' as he tried to persuade Paul Scholes to make an England comeback at the World Cup.

If there is one player I would try to pull out of retirement it is Paul. Capello maybe got a bit desperate at the last minute. [LNB]'But Paul decided to stick to his guns - he is not the type to go back (after making a decision).' [LNB]As for his own exclusion, Neville added: 'I would not say I am overly disappointed. I did think there was maybe a chance I could get in, but I was under no illusions how tough it would be after not being named in the squad for a year. [LNB]'I am probably more surprised Wes Brown isn't in the 30.'
