With long-term absentees Lee Grant, Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford the only senior names missing, 27 players took part in a session which was open to the European football media for the first 15 minutes.

Among those were Scott McTominay and Mason Greenwood, the two Academy graduates who both missed out on last Thursday's 1-1 draw in Belgium.

McTominay, who has been training for a number of weeks now, returned to the first team from a two-month absence during Sunday's 3-0 victory over Watford, while Greenwood scored in the win over the Hornets after recovering from an illness which kept him out of the trip to Brugge.
