He will become the first Manchester United player to win the World Cup while at the club since 1966.Over five decades ago, when England beat Germany 4-2 in the World Cup final at Wembley, the England side featured three United academy graduates.

France will have the heartbreak of losing the Euro 2016 final two years ago as an extra source of motivation, too.
