Senior internationals only
United may not play again until Saturday 19 November, but more than a dozen Reds will be in action for their countries during the international break.
Nani and Darren Gibson both have crunch two-legged Euro 2012 play-off ties to negotiate. Portugal meet Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Gibson's Republic of Ireland face Estonia for a spot at next summer's tournament.
Antonio Valencia also has some serious business to attend to. He's travelled to South America to spearhead Ecuador's World Cup 2014 qualifying charge, as La Tri take on Paraguay (away) and then Peru (home).
Everybody else involved in senior internationals - Fabio (Brazil), Anders Lindegaard (Denmark), Phil Jones and Danny Welbeck (England), Javier Hernandez (Mexico) and Darren Fletcher (Scotland) - will participate in friendlies.
Of those, Fabio faces the longest trek, travelling with Brazil to Gabon in West Africa and then Qatar in the Middle East. Hernandez will return to his native Mexico to welcome a Nemanja Vidic-less Serbia (the defender recently announced his retirement from international football), Anders Lindegaard will hope for a spot between the sticks when Sweden and Finland come to Copenhagen and Darren Fletcher is expected to lead out Scotland in Cyprus.
Wayne Rooney (rested), Ashley Young (injured) and Rio Ferdinand have been left out of Fabio Capello's England squad, so youngsters Danny Welbeck and Phil Jones are United's only representatives for the Three Lions' games against Spain and Sweden at Wembley.
Goalkeeper David De Gea won't be with Spain's senior team in London, but he will play for the Under-21 side in Euro 2013 qualifiers against Estonia and Switzerland. Fellow Reds stopper Ben Amos will also turn out at that level for England in games against Iceland and Belgium, as Stuart Pearce's side bid to reach the 2013 tournament. Oliver Norwood, currently on loan at Scunthorpe, is also expected to receive an Under-21s call-up for Northern Ireland's qualifer against Serbia.
Sam Johnstone, Ravel Morrison, Will Keane and Larnell Cole are all on duty with England Under-19s.
