Which Manchester United players will be heading to international duty this September?

All the Manchester United players who will be heading off to represent their countries during September's international break.

Manchester United have now concluded their fixtures before the international break, finishing with a 2-0 victory over Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova.

The first eight fixture of the season have provided five wins and three losses, with Manchester United now sitting fifth in the Premier League table and second in Europa League Group E.

The fixtures saw Erik ten Hag create his first well settled starting XI, with the last few games boasting an impressive defensive record.

The club will have 15 first team squad players representing their countries on international duty, but which players are they?

England

Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Dean Henderson are those on United's books who will be playing for England in the next two weeks. Despite their good form, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho were not called up, with the former confirming he is out due to injury.

England will play away to Italy and at home against Germany in the Nations League in the next two weeks as Gareth Southgate prepares for a winter World Cup in Qatar.

Brazil

The Red Devils have four players representing Brazil for the upcoming fixtures. New signings Antony and Casemiro will be joined by Fred for friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia, with both games being played in Europe in order to reduce travel time for the players.

They will meet on-loan red Alex Telles, currently at Sevilla, who has also been called up for the squad.

Portugal

As usual, Manchester United's Portugese trio in Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes once again are called up to the national team.

Portugal will face Czech Republic and Spain in their last two Nations League matches.

Argentina

Youngster Alejandro Garnacho has not been called up to the squad despite previous involvements with the national team, however this was mostly expected as they prepare for their World Cup tournament.
