Manchester United players are gearing up for another international break, with a busy September looming as the World Cup qualifiers get underway.
Clubs across Europe are facing the familiar headache of releasing key players for national duty just as league fixtures ramp up after a hectic start to the season.
England, Spain, Italy, and Germany all have qualifiers scheduled, with coaches under pressure to secure points before the winter.
Managers are also keeping a close eye on injuries and fatigue, as any issues could impact the squad upon return.
Fans will be tracking their stars closely, especially those competing for regular first-team minutes.
Amid this backdrop, Manchester United have received positive news as two of their stars have been named in Portugal’s squad for their opening World Cup qualifying fixtures.
Selecao coach Roberto Martinez has confirmed, via X, the squad for Portugal’s upcoming matches away to Armenia and Hungary next week, and Manchester United will be well-represented.

Both Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes, who is reportedly open to leaving United next year, have earned their call-ups, highlighting their continued importance to both club and country.
Fernandes, who has not lived up to the billing thus far this season, will be looking to improve his form on the international stage, while Dalot will aim to impress in the right-back role.
Their involvement comes at a crucial time for Ruben Amorim’s squad, as United look to secure their first win of the season and rebuild confidence following a challenging start.
With Portugal relying on experienced campaigners and exciting talents alike, Dalot and Fernandes will be expected to play key roles in securing vital points.
Fans will be keeping an eye on their performances, knowing that strong displays for the national team can also bolster their club season.
United will hope their international commitments come without injury setbacks as they continue their quest to climb the Premier League table.
