Manchester United duo Tyrell Malacia and Wout Weghorst have been called up to represent the Netherlands in the forthcoming international break. Both players were part of the Dutch squad for the recent
World Cup in Qatar, although Weghorst had not completed his loan move to Old Trafford at that point. The striker scored twice for his country at the tournament - both of which came in the penalty shootout defeat to
Argentina in the quarter-finals. Malacia , meanwhile, did not feature at all in the
Middle East and was only an unused substitute. The 23-year-old has made six appearances for the Netherlands so far in his career.

France on March 24 at the Stade de France, before facing Gibraltar in a home meeting at De Kuip on March 27. Weghorst has registered two goals and two assists in 17 appearances for United since signing on loan from Burnley in the January transfer window. The 30-year-old frontman has struggled in front of goal, but he has impressed with his hold-up play under Erik ten Hag in recent weeks. While Malacia is behind Luke Shaw in the left-back pecking order, the Dutchman has still featured on 30 occasions for the Reds since joining from Feyenoord last summer. Both players featured for United in their Europa League last-16 second leg win over Real Betis on Thursday night. Ten Hag's side secured a 5-1 aggregate win to set up a quarter-final clash with fellow Spanish side Sevilla.
