Manchester United players were resplendent in their suits and ties this morning - as they arrived at the airport to fly to Brugge for the second leg of their Champions League qualifier.

However, there was a notable absentee, with David De Gea once again left out of the matchday squad as speculation surrounding his future continues.

His potential move to Real Madrid looks set to go down to the wire, with less than a week to go until the transfer window slams shut.

De Gea has missed every United game so far this season, with Argentine Sergio Romero deputising while the siutation is resolved.

He has kept clean sheets in three of his four outings so far, with only a Michael Carrick own goal in the first fixture against Brugge beating him.

United travel to Belgium with a 3-1 lead, thanks to two strikes from Memphis Depay and a last-gasp Marouane Fellaini header.

Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney and Bastain Schweinsteiger were among those pictured at the airport, as the Red Devils look to secure their return to Europe's top table after missing out on the Champions League last season.

Ed Woodward is also part of the travelling party, despite growing speculation of an audacious move for Barcelona superstar Neymar.

Reports in Brazil yesterday suggested the Old Trafford outfit had bid a staggering £140million to try and entice the forward to the Premier League.
