On Monday, 19 June, England will take on North Macedonia at Manchester United’s home ground, Old Trafford. Kick-off is at 19:45 BST and BBC Radio 5 Live will provide commentary, with live text coverage available on the BBC Sport website and app.
Luke Shaw Selling Manchester United to England Team-mates
Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has been selling the club to his England team-mates and would welcome Harry Kane and Declan Rice to the club “in a heartbeat”. Kane and Rice are said to be summer transfer targets for the Red Devils.
Shaw said: “I would love a few of them to join – I am not going to lie. I am speaking to them, telling them how good Manchester is, because I know their qualities. I know they are world-class players and they would be a massive help to us but I can only say so much. It is up to the club and whatever they decide, so we have to go from there.”
England Preparing at United’s Carrington Training Base
England have been preparing at United’s Carrington training base and Shaw posted pictures on social media of him beside Kane and Rice with the caption “Carrington tour”. Shaw said he was “half joking” but added: “If it was down to me, I would take them in a heartbeat.”
Marcus Rashford Set to Play on Home Ground
Striker Marcus Rashford is set to play on his home ground after scoring a career-best tally of 30 goals for United last season. England boss Gareth Southgate said: “I think when he has had chances this season, you expect him to score. Maybe in previous seasons that was a little bit less of a certainty. I would say the goal tally is big progress for him. I still think he’s better from the left than as a [number] nine but he’s definitely made progress as a nine this year and had a bigger impact.”

Manchester United’s Old Trafford will be the venue for England’s Euro 2024 qualifier against North Macedonia on Monday, 19 June.
