Old Trafford hosted England's win over North Macedonia on Monday night as some of Manchester United's stars enjoyed one more appearance at their home ground at the end of a long season.
The Three Lions swept their opponents aside with a 7-0 thrashing at the Theatre of Dreams. United trio Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford all started the encounter, with the latter getting on the scoresheet.
Harry Kane netted twice, including once from the penalty spot. Bukayo Saka grabbed his first hat-trick for Gareth Southgate's side while Kalvin Phillips also scored after coming off the bench.
Declan Rice started the game in the holding midfield role. The West Ham United man is set to move to pastures new this summer with just a year left on his deal at the London Stadium.

United have been touted as a potential destination for the 24-year-old, though Arsenal appear to be the frontrunners for his signature. A bid of £90m from the Gunners has reportedly been rejected, with the Hammers seeking a fee in excess of £100m.
After the win at Old Trafford, Saka took home the match ball and Shaw posed for a picture with the Arsenal man. Taking to Instagram, the United left-back posted a picture with Saka holding the ball and wrote: "You my friend are special."
Saka responded with "so are you buddy" but then Rice got involved in the conversation. The West Ham man simply responded: "Besties."
But United fans were quick to jump on the West Ham man's comment, amid the uncertainty surrounding his future. And they clearly think Shaw can act as an agent to help make Rice make the move to Old Trafford.
