Five things noticed as Man Utd return to training during World Cup break

Erik ten Hag has welcomed his Manchester United players back to training, with the Premier League side preparing for a paid of friendlies before they return to competitive action.

A number of United's squad are still on World Cup duty, with Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw among those to start for England in their victory over Senegal in the round of 16. Others didn't make it to Qatar, though, either because their country didn't qualify or they were not selected.

Ten Hag's squad have travelled to Spain for a pair of friendlies against Cadiz and Real Betis. It will give the manager a chance to keep his senior players fresh, while also allowing him to look more closely at academy talents ahead of the EFL Cup last-16 tie against Burnley on December 21.
