Bruno Fernandes starts as two Man Utd players are benched in Portugal vs Uruguay

Manchester United are one of the clubs in Europe with the most players involved in this winter’s World Cup and that means that at least one Reds player is involved every day.

Earlier on Monday, as many as three United players played for Brazil as the South American giants secured their passage to the round of 16 with a win over Switzerland.

And it was a United player who would find the breakthrough in the narrow 1-0 win, with Casemiro’s late strike ensuring Tite’s man retain their 100% record.

Kick-off in the next game is not far away and another three United players could be involved. Bruno Fernandes has been named in Portugal’s starting line-up against Uruguay, with Diogo Dalot named on the bench again.

Fernandes was the star of the show in their previous game, assisting two goals as Portugal won their opening fixture against Ghana last week.

Facundo Pellistri started Uruguay’s first game against South Korea but the young winger has been demoted to the bench for this big game, with former Old Trafford favourite Edinson Cavani replacing him.

Victory for Portugal will confirm passage to the next round whilst Uruguay will be desperate to avoid defeat, having already failed to beat South Korea.
