The manchester united defender today confirmed his retirement from playing international football to face only his club career. Rio has been playing for England for 16 years now running and by my calculation that should be since 1997. This is what he stated.....
'After a great deal of thought, I have decided the time is right for me to retire from international football. At the age of 34, I feel it is right for me to stand aside and let the younger players come through, which allows me to concentrate on my club career.
'The team looks in great shape and there is an influx of young, talented players coming through the ranks which bodes well for the future.

And he says a very big thank you to his fans and former managers of england. Wishing them well in their other endeavours....
