Manchester United's First Train Session at Carrington After Derby Victory

Head coach Michael Carrick and his coaching team oversaw the session at Carrington, with spirits still high following the brilliant Manchester derby win over City on Saturday. The Reds overcame our neighbours 2-0, thanks to goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu, with Mbeumo and Amad providing a boost on their return to domestic action. Noussair Mazraoui, of course, remained unavailable as he was focusing on the Africa Cup of Nations final with Morocco, as the hosts faced Senegal in Sunday's final. Although the dramatic conclusion did not go Morocco's way, with Senegal winning 1-0 after extra-time, Nous's performances throughout the finals certainly did not go unnoticed. The defender was voted into the Team of the Tournament, with United team-mate Amad also making the Best XI published on Wednesday. AFCON Best XI: Bounou (Morocco); Mazraoui (Morocco), Bassey (Nigeria), Niakhate (Senegal), Hakimi (Morroco); I. Gueye (Senegal), P. Gueye (Senegal), Lookman (Nigera); Mane (Senegal), Osimhen (Nigeria), Diaz (Morocco). Carrick is likely to provide an update on Mazraoui's potential availability for the game against the Premier League leaders in a press conference on Friday afternoon. Mikel Arteta's men warmed up for the clash with a 3-1 victory at Inter in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. Matthijs de Ligt and fellow Netherlands international Joshua Zirkzee, who missed the derby victory, were absent from the latest session at our training base. However, Shea Lacey was involved, as he is eligible again after serving the one-match suspension he received for the red card against Brighton in the Emirates FA Cup third round.
