It’s another international fixtures day, and Manchester United supporters have several familiar faces to look out for as players potentially represent their countries around the world.

Although there is no Manchester United club football today, there is still plenty of interest for Reds supporters.

We’ve introduced a new feature in the MUFC Nation Daily Newspaper, highlighting international fixtures that could be of particular interest to United fans.

With players representing England, Cameroon and Ivory Coast, there are several matches worth keeping an eye on.

Six United players in the international spotlight

Cameroon

Bryan Mbeumo and Carlos Baleba could both be involved as Cameroon take on Namibia in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

Two players United supporters will be particularly interested in following, with the prospect of seeing them representing their country together.

England

There could be several United connections when England face Croatia in the Nations League.

Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford are among the United players who could potentially be involved for England.

The fixture against Croatia is one of the standout matches of the evening, and United fans will be keeping an eye out for familiar faces.

Ivory Coast

Amad Diallo could also be in action as Ivory Coast take on Gambia in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The young Ivorian has plenty of admirers among the United faithful, and any opportunity to see him representing his country will be of interest.

Of course, none of these appearances should be taken as confirmed. Being part of an international squad doesn’t guarantee a place in the starting XI or even a substitute appearance.

A new feature in the Daily Newspaper

The international fixtures section is a new addition to the MUFC Nation Daily Newspaper, designed to make it easier for United supporters to identify the games worth following during international breaks.

Rather than simply presenting a complete list of worldwide fixtures, we’re looking to highlight those with a direct connection to Manchester United and its players.

We’re also working on additional filtering functionality for future international fixture days, which should make the feature even more useful and relevant to supporters.

International breaks might mean a pause in the club season, but they certainly don’t mean a shortage of football to watch.

Check out today’s MUFC Nation Daily Newspaper to see the international fixtures we’ve selected for United supporters.

Every article is edited and fact-checked before it goes live. Spotted something wrong? Tell us and we'll put it right.
