Paul Scholes: "There is a big rivalry between clubs in this country and it isn't healthy when you go away on international duty.
"When I was with England, there was always a lot of United players and Liverpool players in the squad and it was plainly obvious that some of our lads didn't like some of their boys and some of their lads didn't like some of us.
"We weren't just footballers, we actually loved the clubs we played for and the rivalry was always there.
"As Mancs and Scousers we were always a bit suspicious of each other and you can't have that kind of thing if you want to be successful at international level.
"You can't build a team or a spirit when that rivalry is always close to the surface. It was always too big to get over."
