United players in training.

Reds almost at full strength in training

Monday 11 February 2019 12:15

Manchester United worked out in front of the European football media at the Aon Training Complex on Monday morning, ahead of our Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching staff cast a watchful eye over proceedings on a pleasant but chilly morning at Carrington, as the lads trained in good spirits in front of a huge media pack. 

The players did some sprinting and ball work, while goalkeepers David De Gea, Sergio Romero and Lee Grant underwent some interesting drills with goalkeeping coach Emilio Alvarez. 

Our cameras filmed the first 15 minutes of the session, with Matteo Darmian and Antonio Valencia the only notable absentees. 

Ole had said before Saturday’s 3-0 win at Fulham that the two full-backs had suffered “niggles” and were set to be out for a couple of weeks. 

Marcos Rojo was seen at training, as was Chris Smalling, who returned to action at Craven Cottage after almost two months out with a foot problem. 

Marcus Rashford missed the Fulham victory with a dead leg and Victor Lindelof also wasn't risked with a minor problem but both were also involved in Monday's session. 

The Reds go into the eagerly awaited last-16 first-leg match unbeaten in 11 games under Solskjaer, who will take charge of his first European match as caretaker manager on Tuesday night at Old Trafford (kick-off 20:00 GMT).  

Solskjaer could give an update on the squad in his exclusive interview with MUTV or when he holds his press conference this afternoon (Monday) at Old Trafford from 14:00 GMT. You will be able to follow live updates in our Official App. 

Later today, PSG coach Thomas Tuchel and a player will also be speaking to the media, from 17:45 GMT. The French club’s players will then train on the hallowed turf at the Theatre of Dreams, with the first 15 minutes of the session open to the media from 18:30 GMT.
