Man United will have four more representatives in the Euro 2024 knockout stages after England and Denmark qualified for the Round of 16.

The Three Lions were held to a 0-0 draw by Slovenia. This was enough to help them top Group C. Denmark also played a 0-0 draw against Serbia and will make the knockout rounds as the runners-up of the group.

Kobbie Mainoo had a bright cameo for England after coming on in the second half against Slovenia. He immediately brightened up their attacks, helping move the ball forward better.

He completed 33/34 passes and made three passes into the final third. The 19-year-old was also defensively stable, making four possession recoveries. He also completed 100% of his crosses and tackles.

Mainoo also played a part in setting up a late chance for Cole Palmer, who hit the ball straight at the goalkeeper.

Mainoo's rating: 7/10

Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund were the Man United players who played for Denmark in the draw against Serbia.

Hojlund had another toothless outing in Euro 2024. He couldn't threaten the opposition goalkeeper, lost 6/7 duels and couldn't complete a dribble.

Eriksen, but, continued his good work in the tournament He created two chances, completed 39 passes and was a threatening figure from set-pieces.

Unfortunately, his forward line wasn't up to its mark on the day. But the 32-year-old midfielder continues looking like Denmark's best player.

Hojlund's rating 5/10, Eriksen's rating: 7/10
