Manchester United manager Michael Carrick will have extra time on the training ground with several players during the international break. The team has had a difficult start to the season, winning only two of their opening seven matches across all competitions. The pressure has increased on Carrick following a recent draw away to 19th-placed Fulham.

Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Tom Heaton are among the players staying behind after not being selected for international duty. Additionally, Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo could join them on the training ground if they withdraw from the England squad due to minor injuries sustained against Fulham.
