Manchester United players were back at Carrington for their first day of pre-season training ahead of the new season on Monday. Paul Pogba, who has been heavily linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer with Real Madrid and Juventus, was a notable absentee. He was in America over the weekend, sharing footage of him training privately with a coach in the gym than at the New York Red Bull stadium. Marcus Rashford and David de Gea were amongst those not seen entering the training ground on Monday, along with Alexis Sanchez, who is in Copa America action. United have been boosted by Rashford agreeing on a new long-term contract extension, securing his Old Trafford future after links to Barcelona. He has agreed on a new four-year deal worth £300,000-a-week. [gallery ids="321288,321291,321294,321300,321303,321297"]
