Manchester United duo Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot have been selected as part of Portugal’s 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup.
With just one game left to play and third place secured in the Premier League, several Manchester United players will be preparing to compete in the World Cup.
Most countries have yet to announce their squads, but Amad Diallo and Senne Lammens are examples of United players who will be representing their countries at the tournament.
It will be a chance for United fans to see how their players – and transfer targets – perform at a major international tournament.
