Ahead of facing Manchester United at the MetLife Stadium on Saturday, Arsenal players took part in a training session in Washington, before making the journey north. With the return of Smith Rowe and Thomas Partey, Mikel Arteta had the strongest force to prepare for the campaign.

The session brought an end to the first leg of our US summer tour, with Los Angeles to come after a few days in New York.

As usual, Arsenal photographer was on hand to bring us these images.
