Manchester United will have plenty of representation across the international stage during the November break, with 11 young Reds selected for England’s various under-age sides alone.
A further eight academy players have earned call-ups for Scotland, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Australia and Cameroon, taking the total number of United youngsters involved to 19.
Combined with the 12 Manchester United players who have been selected for the senior level of international football, Carrington will be quite empty, with 31 players missing.
The international break will give the rest of Michael Carrick’s squad the chance to rest and recuperate, but by the time these players are back from international duty, it is likely there will be a new manager in the dugout, with Carrick facing a strong possibility of the sack.
For now, however, we will run through the 19 youngsters selected for their national sides. Here is a look at every United academy player selected for international duty and the fixtures they will be involved in.
England Under-20s
Five United youngsters have been selected by Darren Moore for England Under-20s' upcoming fixtures against Czechia and Portugal. Harry Amass, Ayden Heaven, Jack Fletcher, Jim Thwaites and Shea Lacey were all included in the original squad, although Fletcher has since withdrawn.
England's first fixture is against Czechia at Mansfield Town's One Call Stadium on Thursday, before they face Portugal in their second match. Both matches are in the U20 elite league, in which England have already won their first three games, beating Italy, France, and Germany.
England Under-19s
Yuel Helafu, Albert Mills and Tynan Thompson have all been selected for England Under-19s.
The young Three Lions have three European Championship qualifiers to negotiate, taking on Slovenia, Belarus and Austria during the international break.
Having already qualified for the second round, coming second in a group including Spain, Croatia, and Bulgaria, if England finish in the top three of the four-man group, they will qualify for the third and final round of the competition, where seven teams will join hosts Czech Republic in the 2027 U19 European Championships next year.
England Under-18s
Jacob Watson is United's sole representative in the England Under-18s squad.
The defender has been named in the 23-man group travelling to Valencia, where England will face the Netherlands and Sweden.
England Under-17s
Sam O'Brien and David Eze complete United's representation in the England set-up. Both youngsters have been selected for the Under-17s' European Championship qualifying fixtures at St George's Park, with Montenegro, Poland and Ukraine providing the opposition.
So far, England sit bottom of their group having lost three from three so far, scoring just seven goals and conceding seven.
Scotland Under-21s
Dan Armer and Tyler Fletcher have both earned call-ups to Scotland Under-21s. The pair will be involved in two friendly fixtures in Spain, with Ukraine and the United States as their opponents.
Republic of Ireland
Jacob Devaney, who is currently on loan at Hibernian, has been selected for the Republic of Ireland Under-21s. Devaney and co will face Finland in a double header for a place at the U21 European Championship next summer. Both sides finished second in their group.
Meanwhile, Rafe McCormack has earned a call-up to the country's Under-19s squad. Similarly to the England U19 squad, they progressed from their first group, and will now face Greece, France, and Norway over the following week.
Northern Ireland Under-19s
Jay McEvoy is United's representative in the Northern Ireland Under-19s squad. They will face Switzerland, North Macedonia, and Malta in their U19 European Championship qualification.
Under-17 World Cup
Three United youngsters will be hoping to make their mark at the Under-17 World Cup in Qatar later this month. Jariyah Shah has been selected for Australia's squad, while brothers Bassiro Nkoto and Douka Nkoto have both been included in Cameroon's plans for the tournament.
Australia are in Pot B with five-time semi-finalists Argentina, as well as Mozambique and Denmark, while Cameroon are placed in Pot K alongside Mexico, Romania and Venezuela.
The top two of each group will qualify for the round of 32, whilst the eight best-placed third teams will also advance.
The tournament starts on 19 November, ending with the final on 13 December.
