United's injured star spotted at carrington before europa league final

MAN UTD TRAINED AT CARRINGTON ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND HERE ARE THE MOMENTS YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED. 14:45, 20 May 2025Updated 13:48, 21 May 2025 Manchester United have completed their

preparation for the Europa League final. United trained at Carrington on Tuesday morning and will fly to the Basque Country in the afternoon, but Tottenham travelled on Monday evening and

have chosen to prepare differently. The players were in high spirits as they trained at Carrington, and they must deliver at the Estadio de San Mames to salvage a miserable season with a

trophy for a third successive year. So here are the moments you might have missed from training... DE LIGT TRAINED ON HIS OWN There was positive injury news at Carrington. Leny Yoro, Diogo

Dalot and Joshua Zirkzee all trained with the main group, although there was no sign of Matthijs de Ligt as the players emerged. With the exception of De Ligt and long-term absentee Lisandro

Martinez, Amorim has a fully fit squad for the Europa League final against Spurs, and the Dutchman was spotted doing light individual work away from the group. De Ligt completed some light

sprints with a fitness coach, but he appears to have lost the race against time to be involved in the final. His absence is a blow for United, but a back-three of Yoro, Harry Maguire and

Noussair Mazraoui should be strong enough to limit Tottenham's opportunities. WELCOME BACK FOR ZIRKZEE The 'welcome back tunnel' has become mandatory for players returning

from injury, and Zirkzee was slapped on the back by his teammates as he ran through the man-made tunnel of arms and legs. United initially expected Zirkzee to be ruled out for the remainder

of the season, so his return to fitness for the Europa League final is a huge boost because he strengthens the attacking options. Rasmus Hojlund has struggled this season and his performance

against Chelsea last Friday was widely criticised. Some have argued Amorim should play with a false nine instead of starting Hojlund against Tottenham, but Zirkzee is available again and

could lead the attack in Bilbao. It remains to be seen whether he is considered fit enough to play from the start. The suggestion at Carrington was that Yoro, Dalot, and Zirkzee are indeed

fully fit, which makes it more interesting. GARNACHO HAS A NEW LOOK Alejandro Garnacho wasn't hard to spot when the players walked out to train at Carrington because he was sporting a

snazzy new haircut: Paul Gascoigne-esque bleached blonde hair. Garnacho's finishing has been scrutinised, but he's probably had an underrated campaign considering the number of

appearances he's racked up and he'll be hoping to end the campaign on a real high in Bilbao. The youngster opened the scoring against Manchester City in the FA Cup final, which

shows he can perform on the big stage, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him repeat those heroics against Spurs. OBI MIGHT STILL BE GROWING Chido Obi wasn't registered in the

Europa League squad, which means he's been ineligible to feature in the competition, but he still took part in first-team training on Tuesday morning. Obi might still be growing because

he seemed to be the tallest person involved in the training session, appearing to be taller than Harry Maguire, Rasmus Hojlund, Ayden Heaven and Yoro. Although United do not have a

particularly tall squad for a Premier League side, the height of Obi is immediately noticeable and he will become a powerful striker when he fills out his frame. Obi has missed out on the

Europa League campaign, but he has still made huge progress. Article continues below
