Manchester United began preparations for their Champions League match against Sabah at Carrington on Thursday. Several players are facing injury concerns, while others are managing fitness levels.
Sabah, the reigning Azerbaijan league champions, have started their season strongly, scoring eight goals in three league fixtures without conceding. Manchester United’s Premier League form has been mixed, with one win, one draw, and one loss, conceding two goals in each match. Manager Michael Carrick aims for a dominant performance at home to begin their European campaign positively.
Journalists report that Amad Diallo is still recovering from a minor pre-season injury. Matthijs de Ligt has not yet returned to full training due to a back injury sustained in November of the 2025/2026 season. However, Marcus Rashford participated in training after being substituted in the 70th minute of Sunday’s match, with Carrick confirming Rashford felt some discomfort. Rashford has been hailed for his 'outstanding' and 'sharp' performance.
Luke Shaw, United’s only senior left-back, has been granted a 'designated rest day', according to BBC Sport’s Simon Stone. Young full-back Harry Amass also took part in training as he awaits his debut under Carrick.
