Erik ten Hag took training at Carrington for the first time on Monday but not every senior player was present.

Steve McClaren returns as a familiar face and knows exactly what it takes to be a success at Old Trafford!
However, fans are becoming impatient at the lack of signings because they can see United’s rivals strengthening in the market. Teams that we were miles behind last season.
The club has prioritised a deal for Frenkie de Jong, and we’ve have been linked with a host of players currently at Ajax.
However, one player with no Ajax links that has been tipped for a switch to Old Trafford is Watford’s Daniel Bachmann. The Daily Mail now claims that United are unwilling to pay what the Championship side wanted to sell the Austrian.
It’s not something any of us will be losing sleep over because replacing Dean Henderson, as our number two, with Bachmann would be underwhelming to say the least. I’d rather Tom Heaton and he’s already at the club.
There are a number of free agent players that could be considered.
Andre Onana is the Ajax goalkeeper, his contract expires on 30th June.
Alessio Romagnoli is a left footed centre back with AC Milan, again available for free in a few days time.
Axel Witzel, defensive midfielder with Borussia Dortmund;
Andrea Bellotti (Torino) and Paulo Dybala (Juventus), both centre forwards, both available on Bosman free deals at the end of this week.
If these players could be brought in, it would allow United to spend €80, million on Anthony
