I'm grateful to the core group of players that I've got. They've taken us to three major tournaments and if they're all fit and well then I'm sure they can have a good summer. Sometimes, I get criticised for not going outside that core group but I believe in them a lot and they've delivered a lot for their country. I've got a difficult choice to make when I come to name my final 26.
"Knowing that the manager trusts me to play in multiple positions is important," Cunha said. "It gives me the responsibility to be decisive and to always work hard, no matter where he places me. You need to deliver and prove that you're ready. "Manchester United is a club that should always be at the top. I'm grateful to be playing in a side that's delivering and competing well. "To earn a spot in the national team, you have to consistently show your worth at club level."
England confirmed qualification for next summer's World Cup with victory over Latvia in Riga on Tuesday, enabling head coach Thomas Tuchel to start finalising his plans as the countdown to the tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States continues.

At this level, you see the squad changing all the time, players coming in, players leaving. I think you've almost got to be a bit paranoid that you're not going to get in because it pushes you even further. You've always got to challenge yourself because the lads you're competing with are always at the highest level because that's the level we're playing at.
