My England Career Is Almost Over - Manchester United Veteran Gary Neville

Manchester United defender Gary Neville has acknowledged that his international career with England is drawing to a close.

The veteran right-back hasn't completely ruled out playing for Fabio Capello's Three Lions again, after being included in the squad for the games against Andorra and Kazakhstan in June, he concedes that the England manager now has better options at his disposal.

Neville has not been selected in the squad for the forthcoming games against Ukraine and Belarus.

"To be honest, I am not looking at an England return," he told United Review.

"The time has probably come for Glen Johnson or Wes Brown now. They have done very well and I think they are the first-choice players.

"It doesn't mean I would turn down the opportunity if it came but it is not something I am focusing on."

Should the 34-year-old's prognosis prove correct, then he would end his international career as England's ninth most-capped player, on 85 caps. His last game for England was against Spain at Old Trafford in February 2007.
