Shaun Wright-Phillips has revelead that he is happy to be back in the Manchester City squad after his experiences in the World Cup. The England winger has arrived in the US to join the senior squad, but gave an interview to us in the Man City Hospitality lounge.

Shaun Wright-Phillips told City's website: "It was disappointing what happened in the summer at the World Cup but now it is time get the head down, pull on the boots and get on with it again.

"At the end of the day playing football is all about enjoying yourself and if you cannot do that you will never be happy.

“I was in LA for a while being well looked after and now I am ready to go. There’s not one problem and I am looking forward to playing again.”

Shaun Wright-Phillips is like the rest of England's fringe players praying he won't tomorrow get the dreaded call to end his World Cup dream.

The City winger's second-half show in the morale-sapping last warm up game win against JAPAN won't have done his chances of making the final 23 any harm.

He's unlucky to be looking for a place in one of the most competitive areas of the squad pitted against Theo Walcott, Aaron Lennon and even the fast-emerging talent of his own team mate Adam Johnson.

Coach Fabio Capello, who will contact the unlucky seven tomorrow morning has another conundrum looming ahead of that opening match against the USA in Rustenburg on June 12.

Manchester City are unable to come to an agreement with midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips over a new contract.

The England winger currently earns £60,000-a-week, but has seen his salary eclipsed by the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Gareth Barry, Carlos Tevez and Wayne Bridge at Eastlands. The Sunday Mirror suggests that Wright-Phillips wants more than a £20,000-a-week pay rise currently on offer, even though he still has more than two years to run on his current Manchester City deal.

The 28 year-old recently said, "This is not about my bank account, it's about where I want to be and doing what I want to do." He said that he wants to see out the rest of his career at Manchester City .

Wright-Phillips' father, Ian Wright, accused the club of "mugging off" his son with their current offer.

Manchester City midfielder Shaun Wright-Phillips believes patience was the key quality shown by England in last night's victory over Belarus.

The Three Lions triumphed 3-0 at Wembley, with a brace from Peter Crouch and an effort from Wright-Phillips himself sealing matters.

The city winger played in an unfamiliar left-sided role, but felt it was vital that the fringe players in Capello's squad continued to press their claims for a place on the plane to South Africa next summer.

"They made things hard for us but we had to be patient," he said in The Sun.

"Respect to the lads, they kept giving me the ball and I kept picking myself up and going again.

"We've just got to show Fabio Capello what we are capable of."

If there has been one disappointment of the season so far, it is the performance of Shaun Wright Phillips. The lad is a "Blue" through and through; we all know that - he proved this when he returned to City after a three-year stint at Chelsea. City fans expected big things when the little guy came back to his spiritual home but his performances this season have left something to be desired.

Last Season:

He returned to Eastlands for £8.5m, which seemed a snip considering he was sold for £21m. It all started so well for the little winger as he scored 2 goals on his second debut away at Sunderland. Shauny then scored again in City`s 6-0 win over Portsmouth but that was the end of the stable, good form. Wright-Phillips went through an inconsistent period over the winter as he failed to influence games as much as he used to. He was poor against Bolton and Fulham but good against Omonia and West Bromwich Albion.

He popped back up again with his first goal for around 4 months when he blasted the ball past Steve Harper`s near post against Newcastle at home. However, he proved to be inconsistent again when he was nullified by Stoke at the Britannia, I should also add how lucky he was to stay on the pitch in that game after retaliating to Rory Delap`s kick.

Manchester City defender Micah Richards says Shaun Wright-Phillips will be trying to get one over Wigan Athletic's Titus Bramble.

City face the Latics today and Richards told his club's website: “Titus Bramble is one of Shaun Wright-Phillips’ best mates – they are always knocking around together - and every time they come up against one another Titus always seems to give him a hard time.

“I think Shaun will have the better of him this time....I will be telling him that anyway!”

Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips was pleased to get on the England scoresheet in victory over Belarus.

Wright-Phillips scored England's second in his unfamiliar role on the left of midfield.

He said: "They made things hard for us but we had to be patient. Respect to the lads, they kept giving me the ball and I kept picking myself up and going again.

"We've just got to show Fabio Capello what we are capable of."
