Donny van de Beek return to Carrington as he was not called up by the Dutch national team. Alex Telles and Dean Henderson also drove into the complex. Both players have suffered for minutes and are yet to start a league game this season.
Raphael Varane was already present as he was working towards his recovery from his hamstring injury. Scott McTominay arrived after suffering a throat virus while on duty with Scotland.
