The defender, who joined United from Deportivo La Coruña in the summer, was part of a dominant Swiss performance in St. Gallen and laid on his side's second and fourth goals as well as picking up a yellow card.

Former Newcastle defender Kevin Mbabu made his international debut for Switzerland.

On Friday, Ki Sung-yueng played for the opening 45 minutes of South Korea's 2-0 friendly win against Costa Rica, and Sunday saw Martin Dúbravka start for Slovakia against Ukraine in the UEFA Nations League.
