Steven Gerrard has previously admitted that the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United created an awkward dynamic in the England dressing room.
Gerrard won 114 caps for England, making him the fourth-most capped player for the Three Lions, behind Peter Shilton, Wayne Rooney and David Beckham. The midfielder was a key player for his country for 14 years, but failed to help England win any silverware.
England struggled under the burden of expectation during the reigns of Sven Goran Eriksson, Fabio Capello and Roy Hodgson. And Gerrard has suggested the reason might be the strength of the club rivalries.
