Manchester United bossSir Alex Ferguson isn't upset with the timing of international week.
Ferguson says he's unconcerned about the effect of internationals taking place on Wednesday, just three days before the start of the Premier League season.
He said: "They have been doing it for two or three years now so why should it be any different this year. I've no issue with it, some players may need a game during the week.
"We may have two or three players that actually need 90 minutes.
"England have done their very best under the circumstances to reduce the playing time for players - there's no replays in the Cup or the semi-final of the Cup, it goes to penalty kicks, the European clubs don't come into the League Cup until the later stages.
"We are trying to condense the English game as best we can to help players because you can't keep on playing the number of games and it not having an adverse effect.
"But with more and more internationals something has got to give and that's a big issue."
