The international break might signal downtime for some Manchester United players, but for others it will act as a fresh opportunity to showcase why they should be getting more involvement.
After a tricky start to the campaign United have begun to find their rhythm under new manager Erik ten Hag and a key component of that success has been down to their consistency. Ten Hag tweaked his line-up following defeats to Brighton and Brentford and now appears to have found a preferred approach, with a pool of players who have been used in their five subsequent wins.
The Dutchman might well go for the same set-up when United return to action against Manchester City next month. But, with nine matches to come in October, it is quite clear that their squad depth will soon need to be fully flexed.
