INTERNATIONALS: UNITED STARS SET FOR ACTION

INTERNATIONALS: UNITED STARS SET FOR ACTION

A look at the United players on international duty over the weekend...

Stuart Dallas and Lewis Cook are among the United first-teamers away on international duty over the weekend.

Dallas' Northern Ireland, who face Greece and Finland, need just two points to secure a place at Euro 2016 and make history by reaching their first major tournament since World Cup 1986.

Speaking ahead of his country's crucial fixtures, the winger said: "We would have settled for this scenario at the start of the campaign.

"As a group we know what it will take to get us to France and that’s what we’re focused on now.

"Hungary also know they need to get maximum points from their two remaining games, which is no easy task, but we can’t worry about what they do. All we can do is look after ourselves."

Cook, meanwhile, is part of the England Under-19s squad who head to Macedonia for three European Championship qualifying fixtures, with the Young Lions looking to book a place in next year's Elite Round qualifiers ahead of the summer tournament in Germany.

Also representing their countries this week are Charlie Horton (USA U23s), Robbie McDaid (Northern Ireland U21s), Eric Grimes (Republic of Ireland U21s), Frank Mulhern (Republic of Ireland U19s) and Will Huffer (England U17s).
