Manchester United are set to be given a tidy sum from FIFA which could come in handy during the January transfer window.
That's because FIFA will pay clubs for every day each of their players is away representing their countries in this winter's tournament with their Club Benefits Programme. The scheme was launched in 2010 to compensate clubs for releasing their players.
United have seen 16 players travel to Qatar and still has a healthy contingent competing even though it's now down to the last eight. The club has already pocketed millions and it could be stretchered further still.
