Speaking in Los Angeles, the boss confirmed there is hope Alexis Sanchez can join the party at a later date, along with David De Gea, Fred and Nemanja Matic. Jose feels the early matches will be a great opportunity for the younger players but reinforcements will arrive soon.

There will also be chances for others to impress, with the opening fixture coming up in the early hours of Friday morning (03:00 UK time), against Club America, live on MUTV.
