The majority of their players exited the competition after their national teams failed to make it through the next round, with a couple of tournament favorites dropping off. Brazil and England who had three United players each were both knocked out in the quarterfinals.

WHICH UNITED STAR WILL ACHIEVE FOOTBALL IMMORTALITY?

Erik Ten Hag's preferred center-back pair of Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez both made it to the finals of the World Cup with France and Argentina respectively.
