Inside the Reds' training camp in Spain

The Reds have flown to Andalusia to prepare for two friendly matches against La Liga opposition: Cadiz CF on Wednesday and Real Betis this Saturday.

Both games will be shown live on MUTV and the club channel is now available on smart TVs following an announcement earlier today. 

Due to the ongoing World Cup in Qatar, the United squad is a mix of established senior players and Academy prospects who are all determined to enhance their football education by working with the first team.

Ex-Reds forward Webber is part of our media team capturing the sessions in Spain and, during Monday’s episode of United Daily, the former youth-team player describes the mood in the squad. 

“There is a good camaraderie, we can see that, but there is also a clear focus within everything that is being done,” says Danny.

“We have seen some of the sessions out here, the intensity has been good, and everybody is tuning in to what the manager wants, which is key. You will get the most out of these trips if that is how you go about your business.

“I think everybody is tuned in. Some of the young lads that are here, you can see that they obviously have a different motive to some of the established first-team players, but I wouldn't want to single any individuals out for catching the eye.

“What I would say is that the focus and the way they have been going about their business has been different class.”

We confirmed on Sunday that Ten Hag has taken 29 players to Spain and the majority of them are from the Academy. As a result, Under-21s coach Mark Dempsey has also travelled on the trip to ease the young players' transition into the senior group, which Webber says is absolutely invaluable.

“It has been good,” explains Danny in United Daily. “You can see, it is not just the players here - it's the coaches and everybody here, people like Demps, who is here with some of the Under-21s to help them transition and make sure things are seamless. 

“When you are a young lad and coming into this environment, it is about learning quickly and making sure your standards are right off the pitch, watching the way you conduct yourselves, doing the warm-ups right, operating around the building right and interacting with the staff correctly. It is all those little things that make the bigger picture for the boys. 

“The bonus is having the ball at your feet and doing what you love.”
