Anthony Martial was another absent from the session, but Jesse Lingard was involved despite missing Saturday’s win over Leicester City. Diogo Dalot also returned to training after suffering with a hip injury.

A notable mention goes to Charlie Wellens, the 16-year-old son of former midfielder Richie, who was included in the training group at Carrington. He has made five appearances for the U-18s this season and was an unused substitute when the U-23s took on Fulham last week.
