It’s a big World Cup day for Manchester United fans. The Reds will have representatives on the field for each of Monday’s three group stage matches. With tournament favorites Germany and Brazil both having been made to look ordinary yesterday, historical disappointment merchants Belgium and England may even start fancying their chances.

Manchester United points of interest

In the first game, center back Victor Lindelöf is a likely starter for Sweden. South Korea are unlikely to provide a stern test, but maybe Lindelöf can start convincing some of us that his transfer wasn’t utterly pointless.

In the second clash, our Romelu Lukaku will be leading the line for Belgium, and Marouane Fellaini, technically still a United player for another week and a half, will probably be involved at some point. Lukaku is Belgium’s all time leading goalscorer, and has been regularly finding the back of the net for the other Red Devils as of late, so Belgium’s hope of making some noise in this tournament depend heavily on our number 9.

Jesse Lingard and Ashley Young are confirmed starters for England against Tunisia, and Marcus Rashford — while carrying a small ankle knock — may be Gareth Southgate’s first attacking option from the bench. Phil Jones will be amongst the substitutes as well, but if the answer is “bring on Phil Jones from the bench,” then something is seriously wrong with the question. England have a young, likeable, attacking team, so it’s only a matter of time before the national media turn on them completely.
