Overview
- The Russian FA named the 18-year-old in a 36-man senior group for friendlies against Egypt, Burkina Faso and Trinidad and Tobago, with the listing published Tuesday on its website.
- Manchester Evening News reports he is weighing his international future and has not committed to join up with Russia this month.
- Manchester United had not received formal notification of a call-up at the time of reporting, according to Yahoo Sports citing journalist Nathan Salt.
- Russia remains barred from official FIFA and UEFA competitions since 2022, so any involvement would be in friendlies and a senior competitive cap could restrict a later switch under eligibility rules.
- Born in Dagestan and now an English citizen, Ibragimov has played for England at U15 and U16 level and is viewed as a leading Manchester United academy talent.
