United have three games before the next international break, visiting Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday before traveling to Copenhagen in a crucial UEFA Champions League match on Wednesday and then hosting Luton next weekend.?

United are eighth in the league table after a lackluster start that has seen manager Erik ten Hag come under increasing pressure.
