Manchester United have announced a 29-man travelling squad for this month’s training camp in Spain.
Erik ten Hag‘s Red Devils will prepare for the resumption of the domestic season later this month by playing two friendlies, away to La Liga sides Cadiz and Real Betis.
The twenty-time league champions face Cadiz on Wednesday and Manuel Pellegrini’s Betis on Saturday.
The Reds first game back in competitive action is against Vincent Kompany’s Burnley in the Carabao Cup fourth-round, which will take place at Old Trafford on 21 December.
Six days later, Ten Hag’s men are back in Premier League action with Nottingham Forest coming to the Theatre of Dreams.
Manchester United announce 29-man travelling squad for Spain training camp
All 13 of United’s World Cup representatives don’t form part of the travelling party to Andalusia.
However, there is a good blend of youth and experience within the group. Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Brandon Williams are included in the group.
But Axel Tuanzebe is absent as he will continue his personal training programme at Carrington as he recovers from injury.
Jadon Sancho is the biggest name to be missing from the list.
The club’s official website explains his absence: “Jadon Sancho is continuing his individual training programme as part of a process to get back to his highest level. The club is fully supporting him in this.”
