Reds get set for qualifiersNo fewer than 15 United stars will be in action for their countries over the coming two weeks as the Euro 2008 qualifiers get underway.
Five Reds have been named in the England squad for the games with Andorra - at Old Trafford on Saturday - and Macedonia four days later.
Rio Ferdinand, who is fit enough to join up with the squad after a scan revealed he had bruised his toe rather than broken it, Wes Brown, Kieran Richardson, Ben Foster and Michael Carrick are all involved, however, Wayne Rooney is suspended for both games following his World Cup dismissal against Portugal, while Gary Neville is also missing with a calf injury.
Despite suffering from a broken wrist, Nemanja Vidic is included in Serbia's 20-man squad for their first competitive games with Azerbaijan and Poland. Sir Alex Ferguson has sanctioned Vidic's inclusion following an agreement with Serbia boss Javier Clemente that the Reds' defender will only be used if needed.
Louis Saha has been named in the French squad to face Georgia and Italy, but fellow Red Mikael Silvestre misses out.
Darren Fletcher is included in Walter Smith's 23-man squad for Scotland's double-header against the Faroe Islands and Lithuania.
Ryan Giggs will skipper Wales during their trip to the Czech Republic in their opening Euro 2008 qualifier on Saturday. John Toshack's Welsh side will then take on Brazil in a friendly at White Hart Lane three days later.
Steve Staunton's Republic of Ireland squad to face Germany in Stuttgart on Saturday includes both John O'Shea and Liam Miller.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Cristiano Ronaldo will be in action for Norway and Portugal respectively. It's the first time Solskjaer has been included in a competitive squad since the 1-0 defeat to Bosnia in September 2004. The Norwegians take on Hungary and Moldova, while the Portuguese face a trip to Finland followed by a friendly with Denmark.
Edwin van der Sar is set to win his 114th cap for Holland after being named in Marco van Basten's squad to face Luxembourg and Belarus.
Elsewhere, Ji-sung Park faces a trip to Seoul for Korea's double-header against Iran and Chinese Taipei in the qualification rounds for the 2007 Asian Nations Cup.
