Manchester United’s players have been photographed in training for the first time since Jose Mourinho replaced Louis van Gaal as the club’s manager.

The club’s third signing this transfer window, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is yet to meet up with his new team-mates at Manchester United, as he’s been given extra time to rest after participating in the 2016 European Championship.
Unlike most stadiums, the tunnel at Old Trafford is located in the corner of the stadium, some 50 metres from the bench, giving Mourinho more time to take in his new surroundings.
Mourinho, who was officially unveiled as the club’s new manager on Tuesday, has a proven track record of success in England, with one FA Cup and three League Cup wins complementing his three league titles.
Manchester United will take on Premier League champions Leicester City in the annual Community Shield game at Wembley on August 7.
The Portuguese will make his home debut as the Red Devils boss in Wayne Rooney’s testimonial game against Everton on August 3. “The first two years were not so easy for him, to be honest”.
“He has been at Dortmund for three years”, said Gundogan, who is now at Manchester City.
Ibrahimovic posted the video above of himself running on a treadmill while overseas on his personal Instagram account on Tuesday morning, and wrote the caption: “No need to get in shape, I stay in shape”.
Next season, we’ll hope to see the sort of play we saw the two-time Champions League winning coach deployed at Real Madrid.

While Fabregas is an excellent player and one of the most experienced around, this switch doesn’t seem like the most plausible rumour going. “It’s hard for us to beat them, of course, but I wish him the best, and to stay healthy”.
