Manchester United trained at Carrington on Wednesday morning | MUTV
The latest Man Utd training news and team update ahead of facing Spurs in the Premier League fixture this weekend.
Michael Carrick's side have won their first three matches under the new head coach and will look to make it four in a row when they host Spurs at Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime. United appeared to be without two senior stars for their latest training session, with plenty of involvement for some of the most exciting youngsters at the club.
The most notable was teenage sensation JJ Gabriel who has been regularly involved in senior sessions this season, despite being ineligible to feature in the Premier League because he is still only 15. Gabriel has been dubbed the 'next Neymar' due to his immense technical ability and his admiration for the Brazilian legend.

JJ Gabriel was one of five academy stars pictured in Manchester United training on Wednesday morning ahead of their upcoming clash with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
Michael Carrick also included teenage midfielders Jack and Tyler Fletcher in the session, along with Jack Moorhouse, after he was recalled from his loan with League One club Leyton Orient in the final hours of deadline day. United opted to recall Moorhouse from the temporary deal after the London club signed Dylan Levitt from Hibernian. This move was anticipated to limit his opportunities for the remainder of the campaign.
United also included teenage defender Yuel Helafu in the latest senior session to provide additional cover in defence. The 17-year-old has played regularly at right-back this season, with four of those appearances coming for the U21s in the Premier League 2.
Matthijs De Ligt and Mason Mount continued to be absent from the session after they both missed the dramatic weekend win over Fulham. Carrick is expected to provide an update on the duo when he holds his latest pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon. Otherwise, there were no fresh injury scares to report.
