Full list of Manchester United players at Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022
How many Manchester United players are at 2022 FIFA World Cup?
The Red Devils have a whopping 13 players who have made the trip to Qatar with their respective national teams, leaving a bare-bones squad back at Carrington. They have the fifth most participants in the World Cup of any club, and the second-most amongst Premier League clubs, with local rivals Manchester City pipping them with 16.
Their upcoming Europa League opponents Barcelona have more players in Qatar than any other side, with 17 absentees, and United will be hoping their re-integration back into the squad takes until at least late February.
Several of United's key performers so far this season will be absent from Manchester over the next month, with almost their entire first-choice XI this season currently in Qatar. Current skipper Bruno Fernandes made the Portugal squad, which is captained by Cristiano Ronaldo and also features Diogo Dalot.
Club captain Harry Maguire, along with Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford, were picked by England, while Brazil also had three Red Devils in their squad, having picked Casemiro, Fred and Antony. David de Gea has not been picked by Spain though, meaning United will at least have their number one present over the World Cup break.
Although Ronaldo was a United player when he left for Qatar, the club have since decided to mutually terminate his contract in light of the interview he gave to Piers Morgan.
