Rashford among four Man United players to withdraw from internationals

WHAT HAPPENED
Manchester United have confirmed four players have withdrawn from international duty. Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo picked up injuries against Fulham and have pulled out of the England squad. Karl Darlow and Benjamin Sesko have also been withdrawn; Sesko did not travel to west London because of a minor shin concern.

KEY CONTEXT
United have picked up five points from five Premier League matches so far this season. Manager Michael Carrick is described as being under immense pressure, and the club hierarchy are reported to be lining up possible replacements.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Manchester United enter the international break and will return to domestic action hosting Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford after the break. The match has been described as a must-win for Carrick, with reports saying anything other than a victory could lead to his departure.
