Which Reds are on international duty?

Monday 07 October 2024 12:29

Manchester United players are heading off on international duty for their respective countries, with games taking place across the globe.

The UEFA Nations League continues in Europe, with James Scanlon (Gibraltar) first in action on Thursday night, against San Marino.

Victor Lindelof has returned to fitness and, after coming on as a substitute in the 0-0 draw with Aston Villa, seems set to captain Sweden, with Slovenia first up for the Scandinavians. Altay Bayindir will hope for some time in goal as Turkey face Montenegro and Iceland, while three European nations have a pair of Reds in their squad.

Matthijs de Ligt and Joshua Zirkzee are with the Netherlands, as Germany are on their agenda, Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund have a big game with Denmark in Spain and Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes's Portugal face trips to Poland and Scotland.

Lisandro Martinez has World Cup qualifiers with Argentina.

Further afield, the World Cup qualifiers are the focus for our South American contingent.

Current holders Argentina take on Venezuela and Bolivia, with Lisandro Martinez in Lionel Scaloni's squad. Alejandro Garnacho was also originally part of the selection, but the winger has confirmed he will not join up with the South Americans, due to recent knee trouble.

Manuel Ugarte is set to represent Uruguay, with Marcelo Bielsa's men facing Peru and Ecuador, as the road to the United States, Canada and Mexico continues.

In-form Andre Onana, our reigning Player of the Month, is likely to keep goal for Cameroon in their double header with Kenya, in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Amad and Noussair Mazraoui were chosen for Ivory Coast and Morocco respectively, but have withdrawn.

Best of luck to all of our Reds during the break!
