Three Manchester United players have been included in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar, with Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford all named in the group.
Southgate named his 26-man squad on Thursday afternoon ahead of the Three Lions' first group stage match against Iran on November 21.
Although Maguire has made just eight appearances for Erik ten Hag's side so far this season, the centre-back has been a regular for England in recent years and is expected to start for his country in Qatar. The 29-year-old, who has come under scrutiny at Old Trafford, has featured on 48 occasions for the Three Lions.

Meanwhile, Rashford, who endured a difficult campaign last term, has been in scintillating form this season and has registered 10 goal contributions in 17 matches. The attacker was absent from the last England squad after suffering an injury, but his form under Ten Hag has led to a call-up to the World Cup squad.
Shaw lost his place to Tyrell Malacia at the start of the season, but the 27-year-old has regained the left-back position in recent months and has been impressive for the Reds. The defender, who scored for his country in the final of the Euros last summer, is expected to start for Southgate's side, with Chelsea left-back Ben Chillwell left out after picking up an injury.
Full squad: Pickford, Pope, Ramsdale; Alexander-Arnold, Walker, Trippier, White, Coady, Dier, Maguire, Shaw, Stones; Rice, Henderson, Phillips, Bellingham, Gallagher, Mount; Foden, Grealish, Maddison, Rashford, Saka, Sterling, Wilson, Kane
