First United players report for pre-season training

Erik ten Hag's squad will return on a staggered basis over the next few weeks, with those on international duty set to come back later. 

The initial group of players due back reported for medical testing this morning, followed by a first training session in the afternoon.

The Reds who returned on Monday included Andre Onana, Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Mason Mount, Antony and Marcus Rashford.

Redevelopment at Carrington means the players are using different facilities this season, as work gets under way to modernise their usual building elsewhere on the site.

All our teams – men’s, women’s and Academy – will experience changes to their usual training environment this season as the project progresses, while maintaining access to high-quality facilities and pitches throughout.

Once completed, all our teams will benefit from the major investment being made to bring Carrington back up to world-class standards.

Of course, Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo (England), Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho (Argentina) and Facundo Pellistri (Uruguay) are still competing for their countries in the major tournaments currently taking place in Germany and the United States.

The Netherlands provide the opposition for England on Wednesday in the Euro 2024 semi-finals, after Argentina take on Canada in their last-four clash at the Copa America. Uruguay are facing Colombia in the early hours of Thursday morning (UK time).

WHEN ARE UNITED NEXT IN ACTION?

Our first pre-season outing is rapidly approaching. Next Monday, 15 July, the team will be in Trondheim, Norway, for a friendly against Rosenborg (17:00 BST kick-off), live on MUTV. This match will be the first to feature the new adidas home kit that was launched last week.
