It won’t be too long before Manchester United’s players are back together to begin their pre-season preparations.
Erik ten Hag will get the chance to work with his new squad for the first time when they return for pre-season on June 27. They’ll then have just over a month before they begin the 2022/23 campaign back at Old Trafford against Brighton on August 7.
Before then, United’s players have been spending some time away on their holidays, but thoughts are now turning towards the new season as many of them begin work on their fitness. Some are still making the most of their time off before the real hard work starts – here’s a round-up of what some of them have been getting up to this summer.

Marcus Rashford
The forward has wasted no time in getting back down to work following what was a disappointing season for him. Having been down the gym last week, Rashford has been hard at training in the United States as he gets himself ready to fire for pre-season.
The 24-year-old shared a video of himself getting in some running drills to his Instagram page, along with a couple of pictures of him clearly worn out by his efforts. You certainly can’t accuse him of slacking this summer.
Bruno Fernandes
Like Rashford, Fernandes has also been getting in early by working on his fitness. The midfielder has had a busy summer, having just come away from international duty with Portugal.
The 27-year-old was filmed getting himself ready for the new season by his personal trainer. Fernandes will be another player aiming to improve on his showing from last season.
Jadon Sancho
Sancho is also Stateside this summer, where he’s been mixing work and pleasure on holiday. The England international made his way to the United States after a trip to Jamaica.
Having attended a festival in New Jersey, Sancho is now in Los Angeles as he works on his fitness ahead of pre-season. And he’s been representing his side while out on the west coast, having shared a video of himself wearing a United shirt while out on a run.
Anthony Martial
Martial’s future remains up in the air this summer as he returns to Old Trafford following his loan spell at Sevilla. The striker made his desire to leave pretty clear earlier in the year, and it will be interesting to see what Ten Hag has planned for him.
In the meantime, he’s been getting himself prepared for the new season, whether it’s at United or elsewhere. The France international shared a video to his Instagram story of himself hitting the gym.
Fred
Some of United’s players are still firmly in holiday mode. Fred in particular seems to be enjoying his time off at the moment.
The Brazilian shared a video of himself on the karaoke while on holiday, having represented his nation during the recent international break. United fans will hope he’s on song for the new season under Ten Hag.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo has been making the most of his break as he spends some time on holiday with his family. The Portuguese ace and his partner Georgina Rodriguez have shared various pictures during their break with their children.
Ronaldo posted a picture of him and his family enjoying a meal together, while his partner shared snaps of them in their private jet as they jetted off to Majorca. Knowing Ronaldo though, it won’t be too long before he’s hard at work ready for the new season.
