Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire have all been called up to the England squad for the March international break.
Though the World Cup only came to its thrilling conclusion just under three months ago, international football will come back to the forefront next week in the latest international break. England haven't been in action since their heartbreaking World Cup elimination against France but will now have to dust themselves off as they kick-off their EURO 2024 qualifying campaign.
The Three Lions will travel to Naples to take on old foes Italy on Thursday, March 23, before returning to Wembley to face Ukraine three days later on Sunday 26. United will have three representatives in the squad as Rashford, Shaw and Maguire have all been selected by Gareth Southgate.

Rashford has been in sensational form this season with 26 goals and nine assists to his name so he will be hoping to make his second start for his country in the last 18 months. Shaw has also been in great form for Erik ten Hag's side but Maguire hasn't been able to break back into the first XI regularly.
The captain has rarely featured this season after falling behind Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof and even Shaw in the centre-back pecking order. Yet, he still enjoyed a good World Cup and Southgate has continued to keep the faith with the centre-back.
Elsewhere in the 25-man squad, Callum Wilson, Conor Coady, Ben White and Trent Alexander-Arnold have all dropped out while Ivan Toney, Reece Jame, Marc Guehi and Ben Chilwell have returned.
