No United player in England squad as Tuchel drops Mainoo and Rashford stays injured

England manager Thomas Tuchel has named his squad for November's Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain, featuring zero Manchester United players. Midfielder Kobbie Mainoo was dropped by Tuchel, while forward Marcus Rashford remains unavailable due to an ongoing hip injury. Tuchel cited Mainoo's recent injury history along with United's poor run of domestic form as the primary reasons behind the midfielder's omission.

With both players remaining at Carrington over the international break, Mainoo will focus on fitness while Rashford continues his recovery ahead of a potential return later in November. In midfield, Tuchel handed first senior call-ups to Borussia Dortmund's Jobe Bellingham and Fulham's Josh King, while Cole Palmer and Phil Foden were also omitted from the squad.
