Manchester United enter the international break in fine form after a dramatic 3-1 comeback win over Fulham in the FA Cup.

The Red Devils recently fell to a historic 7-0 loss at the home of arch-rivals Liverpool, but have gone on to win three games and draw one since then. They've managed to secure their place in the UEFA Europa League quarter-final and the FA Cup semi-final, where they face Sevilla and Brighton & Hove Albion, respectively.

Manchester United were one of the highest represented clubs at the recently-concluded FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, with 14 Red Devils playing for their countries. Only Manchester City had more representatives (16) from the Premier League in Qatar.

As players from across the globe gear up for the upcoming international break, things aren't too dissimilar as 18 Red Devils are set to don their nation's colors.

One noteworthy absentee from the list of Manchester United players traveling for national duty is England's Marcus Rashford.

The superstar forward, along with Chelsea's Mason Mount, was excluded from the English squad due to injury concerns. Rashford has played a monumental role in helping Erik ten Hag's side push for trophies on all four fronts this season, registering a career-best 27 goals and nine assists in 44 games.

Elsewhere, teenage sensation Alejandro Garnacho is also set to remain at Carrington during the break as he continues to recover from an ankle-ligament injury he suffered against Southampton on March 12. He was reportedly set for a call-up to Lionel Scaloni's world champions should he not have suffered an untimely injury in Manchester United's 0-0 draw.
