A few celebrities, including ANTONY and Lisandro Martinez, were seen beginning preseason training with Manchester United today, although one player was expected to have a tense exchange with the manager.

Yesterday, when Mason Mount’s services were finalized by Erik ten Hag, the Red Devils had secured their first summer.

On Wednesday, they announced the arrival of 24-year-old England international Mount, who signed in a £60 million transfer from Chelsea.

On the first official day of preseason practice, though, a number of well-known faces from last season were among the first to report.

Jadon Sancho, who appears to be missing out on a romantic return to Borussia Dortmund, and Anthony Martial were both seen leaving Carrington.

On Thursday morning, Fred, Raphael Varane, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and goalkeeper Tom Heaton were also present at the training facility.

Along with the winger Antony and the Argentine defender Martinez, goaltender Dean Henderson was also there.

After a disagreement with the Red Devils, the 26-year-old spent the previous season on loan at Nottingham Forest.

After recovering from the thigh surgery that prevented him from playing for the final few months of the season, he is now strongly being connected with a long-term move to the City Ground.

It is uncertain whether David de Gea, who was fired by United on the day of his wedding, will rejoin the team.

Andre Onana of Inter Milan has emerged as Ten Hag’s primary target, but the United manager is having a difficult summer.

Due to FFP regulations, he is only able to spend £100 million on transfers, but he is open to bids for 13 players to assist improve that balance.

This has prompted some to propose that England’s Henderson stay until the goalkeeping problems are resolved.

The former Sheffield United loanee was then quoted as saying that he was “perplexed” by those assertions and that “he is convinced he will join Forest permanently.”

Although the complicated goalkeeper position at United might prevent him from leaving, Ten Hag is aware that he could make up to £30 million from his sale to enhance his transfer fund.

Recently, Henderson stated that he “p***ed off the Dutch manager” and that “he is not in line for a comeback” after admitting that he did not want Ten Hag to see him practice because he thought the manager would want to keep him.

“I told all the hierarchy: ‘I need to go and play football,” he said in a talkSPORT interview. I don’t want to take second place.

And as it turned out, the manager entered just as I was about to leave.

Henderson, who made 29 appearances for United and recorded 13 clean sheets, has a contract that runs through 2025, so it’s understandable if he felt a little nervous before going back to Carrington.

United players who participated in last month’s international matches are not scheduled to report for preseason practice until later this month.
