Erik ten Hag called on his players to rock up to training early after the Manchester United boss arrived at Carrington at 7am.
The Dutchman watched from the dugout as his side were dealt a harsh lesson at Anfield, losing 7-0 to arch rivals Liverpool. United conceded six second-half goals as they capitulated on Merseyside, falling to their worst defeat in the Premier League era.
It was also the first time since 1931 that the Red Devils had lost 7-0 and an internal inquest is due, despite the forward strides made on the red half of Manchester. Only a week prior to their Anfield mauling had United claimed the Carabao Cup, but they were swiftly bought back down to earth.
