Wednesday’s preseason opener for Manchester United versus Leeds features a talented roster that includes new additions Mason Mount, Raphael Varane, and Lisandro Martinez.
However, many of Erik ten Hag’s top players, including Rashford, Maguire, Fernandes, and many others, will be absent.
The trio and a few more players have three weeks off before they can start preparing for the new season, so they are not yet required to report back to training.
Despite the fact that the majority of United players resumed training last week, those who participated in international competition in June were given an additional week off in order to recover for the pre-season
The United stars have not been resting on their laurels, however.
Maguire has been training hard in Portugal under the guidance of former Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho, being put through his paces alongside fellow United defender Diogo Dalot.
Fernandes has also been working hard in Portugal, training in the Algarve alongside international team-mate Joao Cancelo and Arsenal-bound Declan Rice.
Marcus Rashford has also posted pictures of himself training in a sunny climate and has recently been holidaying in the United States with Tyrell Malacia.
Maguire’s future at United is still unclear. The club are reportedly willing to sell him -but only for £50 million ($64m).
Rashford is set to sign a new contract with United which will make him the club’s highest-paid player.
After facing Leeds, United will play against Lyon in Glasgow before jetting off to the United States for their pre-season tour.
