By the way, aside from world championships, in theory - could a team like Manchester United be comprised entirely of foreign players?

At club level, yeah, a team can be made of any number of foreign players. At least I think so anyway. I have a feeling FIFA (the world's football governing body) have put a restriction on teams made entirely of foreign players entering international club competitions like the Champion's League and so on.

Man U are actually quite good when it comes to having a first team made of, at least, British players. It's teams like Arsenal who are the main culprits of having whole squads of players from overseas.

There should be some limit I feel, some teams are just feeling drunk on the trades, Real Madrid is just freaking me out these last couple of years. [Yeah I know Madrid isn't in Britain]
