Manchester United saw some of their internationals return to training on Tuesday, while the final group prepare to return the following day.
It was a busy break for many players who joined their country to take part in friendly matches or compete in the group stage of the Nations League.
With the unusual mid-season World Cup fast approaching, the only thing on everyone’s mind is the hope that no one gets injured in the long run.
A recent article in The Manchester Evening News reports that many of Man United’s internationals have returned fully fit to training with the latest pair expected to return soon.
Raphael Varane was spotted at Carrington during yesterday’s session, which will be a huge bonus considering the Frenchman’s injury history in recent seasons.
He has formed a beautiful partnership with new recruit Lisandro Martinez, who has yet to return to England after playing just 12 minutes in a friendly last night.
The Frenchman started the season injured after a difficult end to the previous campaign.
United lost the first two games before Varane started a 2–1 win against Liverpool and contributed to the team’s current form.
Jadon Sancho, who was controversially left out of Gareth Southgate’s England squad, was also seen training in preparation for the derby this weekend.
During the previous two weeks, he spent a lot of time training with Erik ten Hag, which will help him get used to the trainer’s system.
He has already scored three goals this season, contributing both down the left and right flanks.
David de Gea, another high-profile player who would miss out on the World Cup for not being in the Spanish coach’s plans, was spotted yesterday.
Zidane Iqbal, who blossomed with Ten Hag during pre-season and is expected to play a role at some point this season, was also seen sporting a new haircut.
The club launched a gallery on its website showing more players who have returned from international duties.
United are traveling through town to take on Manchester City this weekend and fans are hoping for a good result after the games between Liverpool and Arsenal.
