Scott McTominay | Scotland | Group A
Midfielder Scott McTominay is looking to help Scotland progress past the group stage of a major competition for the first time in the nation’s history.
Fresh off a season in which he played 43 times for Erik ten Hag’s United, the 27-year-old is expected to be a key figure for Steve Clarke’s team, having shaken off a slight injury concern heading into Euro 2024.
With 49 caps to his name, he is one of Scotland’s more senior players and will be kicking off the tournament with a headline showdown against hosts Germany in the opening game at the Allianz Arena in Munich on June 14.
The Tartan Army then travel to Koln to face Switzerland at the Koln Stadium on June 19, followed by a trip to the Stuttgart Arena on June 23, where they will take on Hungary in the final game of Group A.
Rasmus Hojlund | Denmark | Group C
After a promising debut season at Old Trafford, Rasmus Hojlund will spearhead the Denmark attack as they look to improve on their third-place finish at Euro 2020.
The 21-year-old has just 14 caps to his name and has scored an impressive seven times. Amazingly, all seven of those goals came across his eight Euro 2024 qualifying matches.
The Danes will be hoping the striker can carry that form into the final tournament in Germany, where they start with a match against Slovenia at Stuttgart Arena on June 16, followed by a rematch of their Euro 2020 semi-final against England in Frankfurt. They then round off Group C with a meeting with Serbia in Munich.
Christian Eriksen | Denmark | Group C
At 32 years old, Christian Eriksen has made a whopping 130 appearances for Denmark’s senior team – Simon Kjaer, 35, is the only member of the squad with more caps than the midfielder, having featured 135 times.
Eriksen remains an important figure for the Nordic nation, having scored a goal and set-up another to mastermind a 2-1 win against Scandinavian rivals Sweden in their Euro 2024 warm-up on June 5.
He is expected to line up in the attacking midfield role when they kick off their campaign in Stuttgart and will hope to put in solid displays in Frankfurt and Munich, too, as the Danes aim to progress beyond the group stage again.
Luke Shaw | England | Group C
Luke Shaw endured an injury-disrupted campaign with United, managing 15 appearances in all competitions. The 28-year-old, has, however, made England boss Gareth Southgate’s final squad for the Euros, and is in contention to play a part in the group stages.
England are short of options at left-back and have opted to play natural right-back Kieran Trippier in Shaw’s position in recent friendlies, so Southgate will undoubtedly be eager to have the United defender back in action soon.
Indeed, with the full-back having taken part in the Three Lions’ first training session in Germany, fans will be hoping he may even be available for the trip to the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen for their opening game against Serbia. Otherwise, they will be desperate to have him in the starting XI when they meet Denmark in Frankfurt on June 20, or at least the June 25 match against Slovenia in Koln.

Kobbie Mainoo | England | Group C
Kobbie Mainoo is flying high after a breakthrough season in senior football at United. His excellent displays earned him a Three Lions debut in March against Brazil, followed by an impressive display as they drew 2-2 with Belgium.
The 19-year-old featured for a full 90 minutes for England for the first time as they lost 1-0 to Iceland in their final warm-up game ahead of Euro 2024 and will be hoping Southgate names him in the starting XI again when they head to Gelsenkirchen.
Competition for places is rife in a world-class England squad but Mainoo will be eager to keep his spot for the big matches against Denmark in Frankfurt on June 20 as well as the Slovenia game in Koln on June 25.

Altay Bayindir | Turkey | Group F
After joining from Fenerbahce last summer, goalkeeper Altay Bayindir made one appearance for Erik ten Hag’s team in the 2023-24 season – in a 4-2 FA Cup win against Newport County in January.
The 26-year-old, who has nine caps for Turkey since 2021, earned a call-up to Vincenzo Montella’s Euros squad and will compete with Mert Gunok and Ugurcan Cakir for a starting spot.
Indeed, there is strong competition to be Turkey’s No.1, and Montella will feel he can’t go wrong choosing between the trio for their opening match against Georgia at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund on June 18. Four days later, they take on Portugal in the same stadium before rounding off the group with a trip to the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, where they face Czech Republic on June 26.
Bruno Fernandes | Portugal | Group F
Portugal have been touted by many as one of the top contenders to claim the European crown this year. With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix and Bernardo Silva at their disposal, Roberto Martinez’s team certainly have an enviable attack.
However, key to their prospects this summer will be United captain Bruno Fernandes. The 29-year-old was pivotal in the qualifying phase, scoring six times and registering a further seven assists to help send his team through as group winners with a perfect record.
Fernandes will hope to carry that form to Germany and get up and running with a win against Czech Republic on June 18 at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, before they meet Turkey at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund on June 22. Four days later, they will come up against Georgia at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen to round off the pool.
Diogo Dalot | Portugal | Group F
Backing captain Bruno up at right-back will be fellow United star Diogo Dalot. The full-back was an important figure in qualifying, but Martinez has been flirting with changing up his team’s style in the middle of their pre-tournament friendlies – Dalot being one of those who have been both victim and beneficiary of this juggling.
Still, the 25-year-old will hope to be given the nod to start when they make their trips to Leipzig, Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen as the Selecao look to battle their way beyond Czech Republic, Turkey and Georgia and into the knockout rounds.
