Barry has made the holding midfield role his own in the national side since returning from the international wilderness under previous England boss Steve McClaren.

And Barry believes he can work with Hargreaves, who is thought by many to have a similar style, saying: "I don't think we are similar players. We play in the same sort of position - or that's where the England manager sees us - but we can both do different jobs and I'm sure we can play together too.

He added: "I've been in a few under-21 squads with Owen years back and this year when he's been in the England squad.

"You get compared to any player who plays in your certain position."

Barry concedes he is now feeling more relaxed about being part of the England set-up after being named in Capello's first starting line-up against Switzerland at Wembley last month.

He said: "The last time around I was pretty nervous with it being a new manager because they always have different ideas from a previous regime.

"But once you're in, it settles you down and I was pretty confident I would get back in this squad.

"At the same time you can never rest on your laurels and you should never presume it's going to happen."
