United's first team squad have now arrived at the training facility in Santa Cristina that will be their base for the next two weeks.

A total of 20 players made the trip to Italy on Monday morning, but they travelled without club captain Ross McCormack.

The United striker only took part in some of Thursday's training and missed Friday's session and has missed the trip.

Another notable absentee was Rudy Austin, although the club and player are hoping he will be able to join the group in the coming days.

Also missing from the trip are injured duo Alex Mowatt and Scott Wootton. Paddy Kenny and Marius Zaliukas also remained at Thorp Arch.

Included in the travelling group are youngsters Lewis Cook, Jake Skelton, Chris Dawson and Lewis Walters.

Also included in the travelling group was trialist defender Andre Blackman.
