Manchester United have begun the long international break, with many of their players set to take part in both competitive and friendly games.

Bryan Mbeumo

The Cameroonian has scored two goals this season for the club and has also opened his account for his nation.

Mbeumo had the summer off as his country failed to qualify for the World Cup, but Cameroon secured a 3-1 win over Comoros in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The winger scored a goal in the match with his only shot on target. He was played in, cut onto his right foot, and fired the ball past the keeper.

He had five shots on goal during the entire match, with two of his efforts being blocked.

He also made two key passes in the match and was a constant thorn in the opposition’s side.

Mbeumo also completed 90% of his passes in the match. The only area where he struggled was in duels, as he lost seven of his eight attempts.

Bruno Fernandes

The United captain played 90 minutes in his side’s 1-0 victory over Wales in the Nations League.

He made an impressive five key passes, completed 86% of his passes, and achieved a 100% success rate with his long ball attempts.

Fernandes unusually did not have a shot on goal, but he contributed defensively by winning both of his ground duels in the match.

Teammate Diogo Dalot remained on the bench for the encounter.

Patrick Dorgu

Dorgu played 75 minutes for Denmark against Norway in their 3-2 defeat.

He started at right wing and made three key passes, as well as achieving a 91% pass accuracy in the match.

Dorgu had one shot on target and also completed his only dribble attempt as he aimed to hurt the Norwegians offensively.

He also won an impressive nine duels in the match, showing his ultra-competitive nature in the Nations League fixture.
