UNITED > England, the Republik of Mancunia, the idea that Manchester and our club is more important than anything else. United, Kids, Wife – in that order, the banner seen on our travels.
Club over country players are fairly rare, although we do have a few at United, and should be massively appreciated. For a lot of people it is drilled in that representing their country is the be all and end all. To find players who put playing for United as more important than playing for their country can only be seen as a great thing.
“Playing for United has always been the most important thing for me and remains so,” said Gary Neville in November 2007. “If England recognition comes, that’s a bonus – but it’s not something that I think about too much. I’ve always considered it an extension to playing for United.”
“I decided to call it a day with England because it just wasn’t any fun any more. I don’t know why it became like that, I’d just stopped enjoying it,” explained Scholes in July 2007. “I like being at home as well there was an awful lot of time away from home and my family and for me there’s nowhere better than Manchester.”
Park Ji-Sung is the latest to join this group, after opting out of a South Korea game in August in favour of playing for United, as explained by his coach.
“There is a full list of fixtures and Manchester United have made new signings so the start of the season is very important for Park,” said Huh Jung-moo, the national team boss.
Good on you, Park!

I used to like seeing our boys play for england, but after the abuse they get when things go wrong, i say to hell with it. United > anything.
it is not like that.
the game is not important for South korea as they have aldready qualified for the wc.so it is important for park that he plays for United and tries to seal a first team spot and be a regular.
it is good in a way bcoz park wants to do better at United.
yeah..its definitely united>england…our players repeatedly being abused once the national team failed in any competition…
Absolutely…I bet that Becks would not have been abused the way he was after 1998,if he was not a United player…good on ya Parky!!!!!
United is ALWAYS > England simple! And besides we win more things than England
Shows commitment and a desire to better his fantastic last season….. he played fucking ace last year, doing some great work covering for the departed Ronnie ( good riddance) and I hope he does even better this year.
I think Michael Owen has a different view!
Its now UNITED>South Korea ..
Or come to think of it…
UNITED > _______________ …Nething that fills in the blank space would fit the space perfectly..
Players commitment is the secrete behind a successful club.:-D
The Korea manager realises that there is no point in Park going half way round the world to play what are in effect meaningless games that would put his United place in danger.
Park is a good lad but lacks quaility, his comitment is superb and his work rate is phenomenal but for me we need more genuine work class talent out wide in the big games a player who can turn a game from nothing Park cannot do that for me, but a superb squad player non the less.
People do bring up Beckham being booed and at the time I was as fucked off as anyone, but for the life of me I never understand why people still give a shit about him, personally I cannot stand the prick and his wife, he made a choice United or personal celebrity stardom, we all know his choice.
It was the South Korea manager’s choice so it’s hardly Park chosing club over country is it…
just a personal opinion sir..:) I hate that cow as well but da man is a Legend!!!
I hate her too mate, the issue I always have with Beckham were his lifestyle choices mate which were dramatically influenced by his wife.
I personally am sceptical with the regards to him being a United legend but am probably in the minority bro!!
UNITED < CITYS FAILURES
@READ CAREFULLY WHAT I
good morning
that was a good one.plenty more shitty failures to come
City’s failures?? Never knew they had and successes.
We should be thankful for the kind understanding of the South Korean coach Huh Jung-moo and not make it into a ‘United>Country’ thing. I’m sure Sir Alex would greatly appreciate the kind gesture. Hope that other international managers/coaches could be as understanding as Huh.
Too right, fuck England. The booing of the United players by dim witted London fans every time England played at Wembly was a disgrace, especially considering when the booing started we made up most of the side, the Nevilles, Beckham, Scholes, Butt, Cole, and Sheringham. United players were routinely blamed for Englands shortcomings, of course it couldn’t have been those legendary managers Hoddle or Keegan who weren’t good enough?
Anyone else notice how United players are always massively over-rated as well? Beckham was shite, Neville laughable, Scholes was no Lampard or Gerrard, Cole missed countless chances, Sheringham slow as fuck. In the 2002 World Cup Rio was the best defender in the World, then he signs for United and becomes massively over-rated, how the fuck can the best in the world be over-rated? In Euro 2004 Rooney was the greatest young player on the planet, he signs for United and suddenly he’s nothing special, he’s no Messi, he’s, surprise surprise, over-rated! Funny how a club with so many over-rated players players has won everything there is to win.
united>england
Just one more day until im back ot Old Trafford
i reckon itll be a good game tomorrow
been irish i dont go and watch england matches(or irish games for that matter) but i heard a fantastic chant by united fans 4 days after rooney ,once again, won a game for england
the you fat bastard chants where out in full then the united fans came to back up rooney with a wonderful
“did you cheer did you cheer did you cheer when rooney scored?”
shut them up
World Champions twice
World Champions twi-iiice
Once more than England
World Champions twice
gotta hate – Its just like the “Did you cheer when Beckham scored” chant.
Dazjoe and Dilardo – Spot on.
United always come first but id rather have a player like Rooney (who takes pride in playing for his country) than Steven Ireland (bit of a dick who takes pride in his tattoo’s and his superman underpants) anytime.
United > England
However, it would be fucking great is England win the World Cup next summer with Rio captaining the side after JT moves to Man City and gets them relegated, with Rooney and Owen scoring one a piece against the Germans in the final
Apparently Fletch has ignored burleys plea to sit out the charity shield too
being from Northern Ireland i cudnt comment on the united > england thing but i go to all my countrys games and love them as passionatly as i do with united
