I wonder if we’ll see the reverse of this where clubs ask international sides to rest/not select players for certain friendlies
Brazil National Team reach an agreement for United to rest Cunha for the final 3 Premier League matches of the season - ESPN reports | FAKE NEWS

We don't have to. But that's what discussions are for and all parties have come to an agreement if this report is to be believed. I'm quite confident we'll get 3rd spot anyways.
Play for United, skip the World Cup. International Football is rubbish anyway and who wants to spend their summer providing PR for the Orange Goblin.
It's against the rules and players would be suspended. So you won't see it in the open and you won''t see it reported by beat reporters.
Nonsense.
What does United get from domig this? I would settle for right of first refusal on every Brazilian player moving to Europe.
Costs us £6M quid. Unless they are guarenteeing to pay that why would we do this?
Deserved it's own thread so it could be ridiculed.
Cunha gets a rest which might in long term benefit us. Might be a little fresher for start of next season if hes a few weeks break now before world cup. I wouldn't be against doing this and giving lacey some mins.
if he isn't fully fit I wouldnt really mind
fake news
It always sounded like bollocks that this would be agreed with a national federation but it makes no sense now to play anyone if they are managing any sort of fitness issues.
If it’s been an injury he had been dealing with for a while, it makes perfect sense and there is little risk.
Last 3 games should be competitive, but I would like to think they can win one of them!

Not the greatest of source(s).
I can see us rotating more but if Sesko out, not sure we’re just resting attacking players that we pay a fortune to
We're basically set in 3rd. Cunha being rested won't make us lose 3 straight games.
United forcing Cunha to play through a niggle instead of giving him the chance to properly recover would have a higher chance of him making it worse during the World Cup, leading to starting next season with a bigger injury. A 3-4 week recovery for a little hip flexor niggle can quickly become a 3-6 month injury problem if you don't take care of it/aggravate it.
How does it cost us 6m?
That settles that then
Don't. Talk. Shit.
A better source.
Thought it was a shin injury?
If any player has any knock/not fully fit and the player is going to the WC, we should be resting them. Would love to see some kids anyway.
Sesko has that, Cunha had a hip flexor issue
Personally I wouldn't listen to a word 'said' by ESPN with regards to United. Possibly the most ABU source in the world.
Dont get the big deal here. We have qualified for the CL, there is nothing to play for us. We will get something in exchange, eg Cunha dont has to travel for one or two friendlies next season. Could be worth a big win next season. I am all for it as i would use the time for kids like Shea Lacy
Maybe but there is £3m-£4m a place … I’d imagine we’d want something in return (maybe what you propose, maybe a Brazil Intl next year at OT).
If both medical teams have checked him over and they had an agreement once we qualified for champions league.
I'd say it's true to be honest.

Sully Talkz pouring cold water is pretty telling
Don't need this dragging on for pages as its a bullshit tweet.
Lock it up I say.

This statement reserved for certain CB call DeLight. Yes, De Ligt should be rested for the remaining games, hence would not be picked by international team. And, Yoro should start the next 3 games, we really need to see and decide whether he is a dud or simply an overpriced unfinished product.
I agree with both points here. Dorgu and Lacey getting some minutes would be a joy.
I got seriously invested in Bruno breaking the assists record, so if true this is criminal.
We getting Ancelotti in return 
Probably BS unless he is carrying an injury
This is definitely true. Wake up, sheeple!
I also heard that the whole country of Brazil has leverage. Apparently, they are in possession of some really embarrassing photos of Carrick, who only pretends to be boring but actually has a crazy Eyes Wide Shut lifestyle.

I mean if he is carrying an injury, we should do it anyway on our own regardless of Brazil.
In general these last 3 games are a nice chance to include more some youth players.

Weird celebration for someone with a supposed hip injury....
