Friday was a busy night of international action with a number of Manchester United players representing their countries.
The week of national matches will see 20 United stars take to the field either in Nations League games or friendlies. For many players, it is the final chance to prove their worth to their international managers ahead of the World Cup.
The first-ever winter staging of the extravaganza takes place in Qatar and begins on November 20. This window represents the only clutch of games before the tournament starts with no further warm-up matches. Here we take a look at how United's contingent got on during Friday's games:

Brazil
No fewer than three United stars featured as Selecao recorded a routine 3-0 friendly win over Ghana.
Casemiro and Alex Telles, who is out on loan at Sevilla, both started. Antony came on as a 63rd-minute substitution. None of the three were involved in the goals, with PSG's Marquinhos opening the scoring before Tottenham's Richarlison notched a brace.
Casemiro, who is still looking for his first Premier League start for United, blotted his copybook slightly with a booking right at the end of the first half. Fred was an unused substitute.
Argentina
Lisandro Martinez played the full 90 minutes as Argentina sealed a comfortable 3-0 win over Honduras in their penultimate World Cup warm-up match in Miami.
The centre-back, who has struck up a fine partnership at club level with Raphael Varane in recent weeks, helped keep the Central American side quiet — they recorded zero shots on target. He'll be hoping to continue that form both in the last friendly next week against Jamaica, and when he returns to Old Trafford.
Uruguay
Facundo Pellistri might be the forgotten man for United but he continues to win recognition at international level.
The 20-year-old started for Uruguay in their shock 1-0 loss to Iran. He was subbed at half-time although had bright sparks in his 45-minute cameo.
England
Harry Maguire, who has been out of the first team picture at United, played the full 90 minutes as England's miserable Nations League form continued with a 1-0 loss away in Italy. Maguire looked nervous early on but grew into the game, although it has to be said it was a poor performance all round.
The result relegates Gareth Southgate's team from the Nations League top tier. Maguire's club colleague Luke Shaw came on for the final 18 minutes.
Who's playing today?
Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo will all be hoping to feature for Portugal in their Nations League trip to Czech Republic.
Scott McTominay's Scotland host the Republic of Ireland in a tasty-looking derby whilst Anthony Elanga and Victor Lindelof will be looking to get some action under their belts when they travel with Sweden to Serbia.
