Manchester United had 11 players advance to the final eight of the World Cup, with many of these players only returning to training two days ago, including the likes of Antony and Casemiro.

Alejandro Garnacho, just before the pause of the domestic season, put in some brilliant performances against Fulham and Aston Villa, scoring a stoppage-time winner against the former and collecting two assists during a 4-2 victory against the latter.

Zidane Iqbal was another who gained a lot of plaudits while United were out in Spain, putting in two great midfield performances to add to the impressive displays he produced in pre-season.
