A wave of injuries is plaguing the English team. No Kane, no Saka, no Walker and no Maguire either. Fortunately for national coach Gareth Southgate, he can fish from a large talent pool. We are also looking forward to these boys tonight in the mythical Wembley – for the Red Devils and for you.

‘Hey Jude, don’t let me down.’ The Beatles were way ahead of their time. Three years ago, Jude Bellingham (20) became the youngest debutant ever at a European Championship when he came on as a substitute against Croatia. The very young Bellingham was not even allowed to drive a car at the time, he was 17 years and 349 days old. Today the hopes of the nation rest on the shoulders of Real Madrid’s star. Bellingham must deliver honors to England at the European Championships in Germany next summer. With 16 goals in 20 games for the Royal, Bellingham is in the lead in the top scorers in La Liga. He has missed four of the last five games, two with an injury and two through suspension. In the England shirt, the ex-Dortmund player finds the way to the net less smooth. He only scored two goals in 28 international matches, but you undoubtedly know the story of the bottle of ketchup.

A crash with his Rolls Royce, a drunken tequila evening, his brother and real estate agent who came into contact with American justice… Marcus Rashford (26) has been in the news a few times in recent months for the wrong reasons. The perception of ‘wild benefactor’ therefore suffered a serious blow. The problems off the field are a blot on the team’s reputation. But the graceful winger remains undeniably one of the brightest talents in Southgate’s team. Especially in the absence of Harry Kane, it is up to Rashford to provide danger against the Red Devils. He was expected to be the striker against Brazil, but then Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa was preferred. Rashford had to be satisfied with a fifteen minute substitute, will he get more minutes against the Belgians?

For Kobbie Mainoo (18), this friendly international match is an introduction to international football. Manchester United’s young talent is a newcomer to the England squad. He played his first minutes in the shirt of the ‘Three Lions’ against Brazil last weekend, he was given fifteen minutes by Southgate. He may be put on the test bench again against the Red Devils. Mainoo is currently in balance with Jordan Henderson from Ajax. The opportunity for Mainoo to strengthen his application for the European Championships next summer. Since the end of last year he has been a permanent fixture in Erik ten Hag’s team. In terms of playing style and motor skills, he is actually a bit reminiscent of Clarence Seedorf. A stylish pit bull in midfield, but judge for yourself tonight.
