Several Manchester United players were involved
in England's shock 3-2 defeat to Denmark at Old Trafford yesterday.
Defender Gary Neville started the game but got substituted by Chelsea defender Glen Johnson after just 16 minutes due to an ankle problem. Midfielders Nicky Butt and Phil Neville both played 45 minutes each in midfield. The game got off in spectacular fashion with 3 goals in 8 minutes. New sensation Wayne Rooney put England in the lead after just 5 minutes but Martin Jorgensen equalized 3 minutes later. Joe Cole then fired England back in front just moments later. Jorgensen equalized for Denmark and put them back into the game from the penalty spot on the 30th minute. Typical England couldn't hold on and the Daines found themselves 3-2 up after John Dahl Tomasson's fine strike.
