Manchester United prepared up for their massive ‘Red Monday’ showdown with arch-rivals Liverpool by stretching in their hotel car park.
It may be one of the most glamorous and famous duels in world football, but United were taking a no-frills approach on Monday afternoon outside their Liverpool hotel – The Titanic.
It is not the first time this seasons that one of the world’s most glittering squads has gone back to basics under boss Jose Mourinho.
He had them stretching out in their Daventry hotel before their EFL Cup tie with Northampton in September.
Wayne Rooney was all smiles on his return to his home city, though it remains to be seen if he will be recalled to the starting line-up at Anfield.
Rooney, who was also dropped by England boss Gareth Southgate for the recent match in Slovenia, started Manchester United’s last Premier League game against Stoke on the bench.
