Manchester United's first team squad have travelled to Dublin this week for a four-day training camp ahead of next week's Premier League return vs Leeds.
The Reds are staying at the luxury Carton House where they will be put through their paces by Michael Carrick and his backroom staff. The break will give United's players a chance to refocus ahead of a crucial Premier League run-in.
Carrick's side sit third in the Premier League, six points ahead of fifth place Liverpool. United will be guaranteed a spot in next season's Champions League if they finish in the top four.
A 25-man squad has flown out to Ireland with the Reds buoyed by Lisandro Martinez, Patrick Dorgu, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko's involvement. The quartet were all struggling with injuries before and during the international break but their inclusion suggests they are closing in on a return to competitive action.
Youngsters Dermot Mee, Fred Heath, Yuel Helafu, Jim Thwaites and Victor Musa were also called up for the camp. However, long-term absentee Matthijs de Ligt has not travelled.
