As the first week of the October break nears its conclusion, the most recent group of Manchester United players have been serving on international duty over the past 24 hours.
Bruno Fernandes, who started with Diogo Dalot for Portugal in their victory over Slovakia, had two assists while Marcus Rashford, who was starting for England, came off the bench. Also a Tunisian player was Hannibal Mejbri.
Erik ten Hag will be concerned about Casemiro’s health as he is anxious to have all of his players return from injury-free games. Casemiro was replaced for Brazil earlier this week due to an ankle ailment. Additionally, Victor Lindelof missed Sweden’s opening match after being evaluated earlier in the week.
In an effort to build on his thrilling victory over Brentford last weekend, the Dutchman has resumed his practice at Carrington this week. The return of Premier League play will take place next Saturday when United travels to Sheffield United.
Off the field, minutes of a recent fans forum where CEO Richard Arnold spoke about the current takeover process, the reasoning behind their choices of Mason Greenwood and Antony, and the reason why Joel Glazer is unable to attend such meetings personally have been disclosed.
Sheikh Jassim ‘withdraws’ from the takeover effort
According to reports, Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani has dropped out of the running to take over United.
According to CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs, the Qatari had advanced in negotiations after submitting a £5 billion bid, which is treble the club’s market value.
Sheikh Al-Thani is reportedly of the opinion that the Glazers’ own assessment of the team is “outlandish.”
