On a light day for Manchester United internationals, Altay Bayindir and Noussair Mazraoui were unused substitutes. With them on the sidelines, read below to see how their nations fared.

Akturkoglu Hat-Trick Leads Turkey to Victory

Turkey 3 Iceland 1

Benfica man Kerem Akturkoglu buried three for his nation in a win over Iceland. The recent Benfica signing is a key player for the Turkish side that started their Nations League campaign with four points.

Manchester United backup goalkeeper Altay Bayindir was an unused substitute in the win.

Brahim Diaz Saves Morocco From Embarrassing Draw

Morocco 1 Lesotho 0

Real Madrid starlet Brahim Diaz scored in the third minute of stoppage time to lead Morocco to victory.

In a match dominated by the Atlas Lions (79% possession), it took a last-gasp winner to seal a win over a team ranked #149 in the FIFA rankings.

Manchester United right-back Noussair Mazraoui was withheld from the lineup in the unexpectedly difficult match. However, a rest day for the 26-year-old is not the worst thing for his parent club, as he will be fresh and ready for Southampton this weekend.

Reds in Action Tomorrow

The final day of international games is a big one for United players. Nine Reds will feature in six matches on three continents.

In AFCON Qualifying, Amad Diallo and Ivory Coast face Chad, while Andre Onana will fight for another clean sheet with Cameroon against Zimbabwe.

In the European Nations League, Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire look for a second consecutive win against Finland. Joshua Zirkzee will hope to build off a strong performance for the Netherlands as he and Matthijs De Ligt host Germany.

In the CONMEBOL World Cup Qualifying, Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho will represent Argentina in a massive match against Colombia. United newcomer Manuel Ugarte and Uruguay face Venezuela.
