Ethan Galbraith has been training with Manchester United's first-team squad ahead of their pre-season tour. The Red Devils are preparing to fly out to Thailand and then Australia.

Northern Ireland midfielder Galbraith spent last season on loan with Doncaster Rovers. The 21-year-old impressed in League One, scoring one goal in 36 appearances and grabbing four assists.
