Journos share Man Utd team news live from Carrington as Shaw & Rashford updates issued

Manchester United have taken to the grass at Carrington this morning in preparation for their midweek Champions League opener.

The Red Devils kick off their UCL campaign at home to reigning Azerbaijan league champions Sabah tomorrow night at 8pm.

In their opening three league fixtures, Sabah have scored eight goals without conceding once.

Meanwhile, United have got off to a mixed start in the Premier League, having won, drawn and lost thus far.

Michael Carrick's side have conceded two goals in each game, with two matches being against newly-promoted opposition in the form of Ipswich Town and Hull City.

Alas, it's imperative the Reds start their European journey on the right foot with a dominant showing on Thursday evening – especially with them being on home turf.

Journalists have been able to divulge some team news ahead of the clash as Carrick navigates some ongoing injuries to players.
