Like Didier Deschamps with the France team, Domenico Tedesco revealed his list of players selected for the international window dedicated to the Nations League.
While the Red Devils will meet the Blues on October 14 after their defeat in the first leg (2-0), the selection from across Quiévrain will be able to include a new addition. Indeed, Olympique Lyonnais striker Malick Fofana was summoned for the first time for this gathering.
Four new Red Devils
At 19, the Belgian has had a very good start to the season with Les Gones, notably scoring three goals in his last two matches against Toulouse in Ligue 1 and Rangers in the Europa League. Fofana will not be the only rookie for this Nations League session since Tedesco has called up three other new players: Cyril Ngonge (Naples), Matte Smets (Genk) and Maarten Vandevoordt (RB Leipzig).
