The squad took part in a small-sided game on Friday and, as you can see, it got quite competitive…
“This is in line with the temporary law amendment made by the International Football Association Board last month.
“Shareholders also approved for clubs to increase the maximum number of substitute players on the bench from seven to nine for the rest of the 2019/20 season."
The last goal United scored in the Premier League before the enforced break due to the coronavirus pandemic was scored by a substitute - Scott McTominay's clincher in the 2-0 derby triumph against Manchester City at Old Trafford.
