However, recent addition Joshua Zirkzee is not part of the squad as he continues his summer break following Euro 2024.

Altay Bayindir, Diogo Dalot, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez, Facundo Pellistri, and Luke Shaw are also absent due to their international commitments and mandatory holidays.

Tyrell Malacia is recovering from an injury at Carrington and Lisandro Martinez and Garnacho, fresh from their Copa America victory, are spending time with their families.

Mainoo and Shaw, who played in the Euro final for England, are also on a three-week break.

United will conduct their training at the University of California in Los Angeles, with their first match against Arsenal at the SoFi Stadium on Saturday.
