Will Fish will join the Manchester United squad in Australia after Axel Tuanzebe left the pre-season tour.
Tuanzebe did not train in the open session at the Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok on Monday night and was absent from the squad for the 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool on Tuesday evening.
United flew to Melbourne after the match but Tuanzebe remained at the team hotel in Bangkok.

A United spokesman said: “Axel returned back to Manchester this morning to deal with a small personal issue.”
Fish, 19, trained under Erik ten Hag at Carrington and is set to fly out as cover, with Harry Maguire carrying an injury.
The young centre-back came on for his United debut against Wolves in the final Premier League game of the 2020-21 season but endured a difficult loan with Stockport County in the National League last season that ended early.
He was one of 18 academy players to train under Ten Hag in his first week of pre-season training at Carrington.
