Ten Hag names travelling squad for FC Porto

The Reds trained at Carrington on Wednesday morning and, before jetting off to Portugal, Erik ten Hag selected which players would make the trip.

Kobbie Mainoo's presence in the training session was a welcome boost for United, with the midfielder having been forced off in the first half of Sunday's Premier League defeat at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

The 19-year-old is part of the squad that will travel to the Estadio do Dragao, as we look to follow up last week's 1-1 draw against FC Twente with three points in our first European away game of 2024/25.

Mason Mount, who had to be withdrawn in the second half of Sunday's clash due to a head injury, did not take part in Wednesday's session as a precaution and will not fly to Portugal.

Academy graduate Dan Gore has been included in the squad, after captaining our Under-21s in their 1-1 draw against Hertha Berlin on Tuesday evening.

Tyrell Malacia was spotted in training but will play no part on Thursday, as he continues to build up his fitness following a lengthy injury lay-off.

Harry Maguire, who missed the defeat to Spurs due to a knock, was involved on Wednesday and has subsequently been included in Erik's 23-man squad.
