Thursday saw another day of dramatic World Cup action as both Belgium and Germany were eliminated from the tournament, with underdogs Morrocco and Japan, respectively, going through instead of them.

Today is the final day of group stage fixtures and Manchester United stars Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, Facundo Pellistri, Antony, Casemiro and Fred could all be in action for their countries as Groups H and G are finalised.

Meanwhile, Axel Tuanzebe, Tom Heaton and Brandon Williams are all hoping to be available again for United once club football resumes towards the end of December after recovering from significant injuries. Erik ten Hag will take the players that aren’t at the World Cup to Cadiz, Spain, for a warm weather training camp next week.

Canada had a World Cup campaign to forget, as they finished bottom of Group F with zero points.

They lost all three matches to Belgium, Croatia and Morocco as their time in Qatar came to a disappointing end.

David had been tipped by many to star for the North American side, yet the Lille striker failed to find the back of the net during his three appearances.

But that might not necessarily be a bad thing for United, and David was asked directly about his links with a move to Old Trafford.

At last, Dalot gets his chance to shine at the World Cup.

After being named on the bench for Portugal’s first two matches at the World Cup, the right-back has been chosen in the starting XI for their clash with South Korea.

Bruno Fernandes drops to the bench, with former United man Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line once again.

The Portugal international has been in superb form during his time in Qatar.

The 23-year-old scored for the Euro 2016 champions during their 3-2 win over Ghana in the group stages, as he finished off a fast-flowing move with an exquisite chip that nestled into the bottom corner.

The Atletico Madrid man is rumoured to be unhappy with his lack of game time under Diego Simeone, as links with United seem to have offered him an escape route.

But should the club be wary about bringing him to Old Trafford?

After 17 years of ownership, the Glazers have finally put the club up for sale.

There have been a whole host of names linked as potential buyers, as the world start to get a glimpse of what life could be like without the American owners at the helm.

Yet there is still a lot that needs to be answered before any potential takeover can materialise.

With that in mind, we want to know you to share your thoughts in our brand-new survey. Click below to have your say on what looks set to be a historic moment for United.

The West Ham midfielder could not have made it any clearer when he spoke to the press yesterday.

“You only get one career.”

Rice all but confirmed what many of us had been thinking for a while now, as he has slowly but surely outgrown his time at the London club.

The Hammers find themselves just a single point above the relegation zone, and with Ten Hag’s side three points off the Champions League spots with a game in hand on Tottenham – can Rice be tempted to join the Dutchman’s revolution at Old Trafford?

According to Football Insider, Ian Graham, Liverpool’s director of research, could be set to leave his role at Anfield and join United.

They claim that he could be set to team up with former sporting director Michael Edwards at Old Trafford, with the pair being brought in to overhaul the club’s current recruitment set-up.

It is thought that any potential move has no relation to United’s sale, as the Glazers announced they were finally selling the club after 17 years of ownership.

Graham has previously worked under Edwards at Liverpool, as the pair focused on growing the club’s data department, concentrating on both recruitment and player analysis.

The United academy graduate had thoroughly impressed while on pre-season tour with the club in Thailand and Australia.

Heads started to turn when the dynamic pairing of both Iqbal and Charlie Savage teamed up in the midfield during United’s 4-0 demolition of bitter rivals Liverpool.

Having already made two appearances for the Iraq national side, the teenager showed wisdom beyond his years with the ball at his feet.

Erik ten Hag has so far failed to sanction a loan move for the youngster, but could all that be about to change?

For a fleeting moment, both Spain and Germany were heading out of the World Cup in the group stages.

In the end, Germany’s 4-2 victory over Costa Rica ensured that Spain went through in second place – on goal difference alone – as Japan incredibly topped the group.

The tournament in Qatar has certainly been filled with controversy, but there was perhaps no moment more controversial than Japan’s winning goal against Luis Enrique’s side last night.

And Gary Neville was not best pleased to say the least.

Atletico Madrid will listen to offers for Joao Felix in January, according to The Times.

The article claims United are among the clubs interested in signing the forward, with Anthony Martial the only recognised striker at Old Trafford after Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure.

It’s claimed United met Felix’s agent Jorge Mendes in the summer to discuss a move for the 23-year-old but ‘Atletico Madrid were then adamant he was not for sale’.

Atletico paid £113m to sign Felix from Benfica in 2019.

United will open Old Trafford throughout December to help the most vulnerable in the local community.

The club announced their winter campaign ‘United by Your Side’ on Thursday, which will see the Red Cafe provide those in need with a space to stay warm, a chat, a hot drink and snacks, with temperatures falling and heating bills rising.

The area will be available to everyone, free of charge, every Monday and Wednesday, for the next three weeks, starting 6 December from 5:00pm to 8:00pm. People can arrive and register via the North Stand reception and will be guided to the Red Cafe.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has heaped praise on Marcus Rashford.

Axel Tuanzebe is aiming to return from injury for the resumption of the Premier League season this month.

Tuanzebe has been sidelined since July with a back problem but has continued his rehabilitation at United’s Carrington training complex during the World Cup. Tuanzebe has been using a zero-gravity running machine to aid his recovery.

The 25-year-old has not played for United since the Europa League final defeat to Villarreal in May 2021 as he spent last season on loan at Aston Villa and Napoli.

Communication can be challenging whilst discussing a transfer, especially if the player is not fluent in the language.

Whenever Casemiro granted United a virtual audience during their discreet discussions over nearly three months, it was often through FaceTime with translators present at both ends.

The personable method of video calling emboldened Casemiro to request a video of the gym at United’s Carrington training complex. So a United staff member was sent through the labyrinthine corridors of the main building and downstairs to comprehensively capture the vast gym on film and send the file to Casemiro’s agent Oscar Ribot.

United are hopeful Amad can establish himself in the first-team squad when he returns from his loan spell with Sunderland.

Amad, 20, has scored three goals in his last five games for Championship side Sunderland and sources at United believe he is thriving due to consistent playing time.

A well-placed source suggested Amad needs “a run of 10 games” to showcase his qualities and the Cote d’Ivoire international has started Sunderland’s last five matches.

Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe is aiming to return from injury for the resumption of the Premier League season this month.

Tuanzebe has been sidelined since July with a back problem but has continued his rehabilitation at United’s Carrington training complex during the World Cup. Tuanzebe has been using a zero-gravity running machine to aid his recovery.

The best right-back in the Premier League this season played in all three of England’s group games at the World Cup yet the other standout right-back remains an onlooker in Qatar.

Diogo Dalot was unused in both of Portugal’s wins against Ghana and Uruguay while his three fellow full-backs – Joao Cancelo, Raphael Guerreiro and Nuno Mendes – all started.

Cancelo has lined up twice at right-back and on the left Mendes replaced Guerreiro for the defeat of Uruguay. A tearful Mendes was forced off injured in the 42nd minute.

Manchester United supporters have been left very impressed by how their club’s players are performing on the world stage. A total of 14 Red Devils stars are currently representing their countries in Qatar for the World Cup.

High-profile stars like Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Marcus Rashford have set the tournament alight in the group stage. The latter, despite starting just one game, is the joint top goalscorer in the competition and bagged twice in England’s 3-0 win over Wales.

Rashford has improved under Erik ten Hag this season and Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate is reaping the benefits at international level. Brazil enforcer Casemiro, too, has played every minute of the five-time World Cup winners’ campaign so far.
