Three prominent Manchester United players are once again in contention for the national team to compete in the 2026 World Cup after showing strong form under interim English coach Michael Carrick.
On 13 Feb 2026, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, and Koby Menzies The three well-known "Red Devils" of Manchester United, a leading club in the English Premier League, are back in the running for the national team to the 2026 World Cup finals after improved performances under interim English coach Michael Carrick.
Previously, the chances of Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, and Koby Menzies making the national team seemed quite slim due to their form and limited playing time at their clubs. However, since the team transitioned from Ruben Amorim to Michael Carrick, all three players have shown significant improvement, especially the latter, who appears to have been reborn.
This led Thomas Tuchel, the German coach of the England national team "Three Lions," to comment on player selection, stating that Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, and Koby Menzies are now back among the candidates for national team call-ups based on their recent performances.
