Reds ready for Europe

Manchester United held a training session in front of the media on Tuesday, ahead of the opening match of the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League campaign against Galatasaray.

Sir Alex Ferguson almost had a full squad at his disposal with just Ashley Young joining long-term absentees Wayne Rooney, Phil Jones and Chris Smalling in missing the workout.

Patrice Evra was fully involved after missing Saturday’s win over Wigan Athletic, while Shinji Kagawa and Robin van Persie, sporting a blue strapping, also took part.

As ever, official club photographers John Peters and Matt Peters were on hand to capture the action.
