Manchester United returned to training at Carrington on Thursday in cool conditions as their focus moves to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.

The Reds progressed to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after victory over Burnley this midweek. Christian Eriksen gave United the lead in the first half thanks to a great assist from Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Marcus Rashford's superb solo effort made it two after the interval as the Premier League side overcame their Championship opposition. Fixtures continue to come thick and fast this festive season so Erik ten Hag had his men back in training on Thursday to prepare for Forest next week.'





Rhys Bennett edging towards first United appearance

Unlike Mainoo, Bennett was on the bench against Burnley this week as United's centre-back depth was pushed to its limits. Harry Maguire pulled out of the Carabao Cup clash through illness and this meant Casemiro was moved into centre-back.

Should Ten Hag opt not to play the Brazilian in defence, Bennett is an option having impressed for the club's U21s. United will however be hoping for Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane back soon.

3) Alejandro Garnacho feeling the cold

The Argentine burst onto the scene at Old Trafford before the World Cup break and continued to receive chances to impress post-tournament as he started against Burnley. Before the break, controversy was sparked when Scott McTominay was seen booting Garnacho's hat away in what looked to be a joke but what some claimed was bullying.

From Thursday's evidence, it would seem that Garnacho is still not used to the Manchester winter.



So that's for nwo

Lionel Messi signed his first Barcelona contract on a paper napkin Almost everyone uses a paper napkin, throws it away, and forgets about it, right? Barcelona were definitely not throwing this paper napkin away after use, though. On December 14th 2000, they had just formally signed 13-year-old Lionel Messi. This was an on-the-fly decision by ex-Barcelona player and then-Barcelona executive Carles Rexach, at a restaurant with Josep Maria Minguella, a player agent who had brought some players to Barcelona, Joan Gaspart, president of Barcelona at the time, and Messi’s contact in Spain, Horacio Gaggioli, threatened to offer the Argentine to Real Madrid, who were also interested. So Rexach used a paper napkin that was handed to him by a waiter and wrote: “In Barcelona, on December 14, 2000 and in the presence of Messrs. Minguella and Horacio, Carlos Rexach, Technical Secretary of F.C.B. is committed under his responsibility and despite some opinions against signing the player Lionel Messi a...

World Cup superstar Kylian Mbappé made an unexpectedly quick recovery from injury and had two would-be goals disallowed for offside after coming on in the second half. The return leg is on March 8. PSG was eliminated by Real Madrid in the last 16 last season. ...
