When Gareth Southgate announced his England squad in September, the only Manchester United player included was Harry Maguire and many were not convinced that the 29-year-old centre-back should have even been part of the squad at all.
Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho all were dropped due to a combination of injuries and form. So therefore if Maguire wasn't included, United would not have a representative in their national team.
With Maguire then dropping out of the United squad in favour of a partnership of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane, it seemed like come November when England were heading to Qatar, United may not have many players on the plane.
