United's season may have come to an end at Wembley on 28 May but a number of players still have international commitments before embarking on a much-deserved summer break.Rio Ferdinand is United's sole representative in the England squad for the Euro 2012 qualifier against Switzerland at Wembley. The defender has been recalled by Fabio Capello despite losing the captaincy to John Terry but Michael Carrick (injured) and Wayne Rooney (suspended) are absent.
Javier Hernandez is spearheading Mexico's defence of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in the United States. After missing a 3-0 warm-up victory over New Zealand, Chicharito is expected to figure in Sunday's opener against El Salvador with Cuba and Costa Rica completing Group A.
John O'Shea has joined up with Republic of Ireland ahead of their qualifiers with Macedonia and Italy. The defender had a hamstring problem which reportedly ruled him out of the Champions League final but he is flying to Skopje with the rest of Giovanni Trapattoni's side, even though Darron Gibson pulled out with a groin strain.
Patrice Evra is with France as their programme starts with a clash against Belarus.
