Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt admits manager Sir Alex Ferguson would pull him out of England squads.
In a question and answer session alongside ex-Red Devils team-mates Phil Neville and Ryan Giggs at Soccerex, the 39-year-old revealed that he could have won more caps for England.
Explaining what Ferguson had told him, Butt said: "You've got an England game coming up. You're not going."
He also was questioned on the attitudes of players in the England squad towards David Beckham's fame.
"Maybe a few people resented that," he replied.
