Boss John Sheridan has hailed the "brilliant" start to international football made by Carlisle frontman Hallam Hope.
The forward will be back in training at Brunton Park this week after scoring twice on his Barbados debut last week.
Sheridan said: "It's brilliant for H and I'm chuffed to bits for him to go over there and do well.
"To play for your country, it doesn’t matter who you are, it's a privilege. It's an honour for him."
Hope got both Barbados goals in their 2-2 CONCACAF Nations Cup game against Guyana last Thursday night.
His outing in the Caribbean saw him miss United's last two games but he is likely to return against Tranmere next Saturday.
*United's youth team suffered a 3-0 defeat at Wigan on Saturday.
