Manchester United will be well represented at the tournament with a raft of players expected to be picked for their respective countries.
Some will even meet as early as the group stage with Denmark being drawn against England in Group C.
The game will be a repeat of the Euro 2020 semi-final which England eventually prevailed by two goals to one.

Scott McTominay and Scotland have been handed the honour of opening the tournament against hosts Germany in a testing but mouthwatering first fixture.
