Manchester United received a welcome boost in Michael Carrick’s first training session as interim boss, coinciding with the returns of Bryan Mbeumo and Amad Diallo following their recent absences while away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
United have been without both key players since the chaotic 4–4 draw against Bournemouth on December 15. However, after quarter-final exits for Mbeumo’s Cameroon and Amad’s Ivory Coast last Friday and Saturday respectively, each is now back in Manchester.
