With COVID-19 restrictions still in play across the international scene, United are set to stay in the United Kingdom prior to the start of our Premier League campaign on 14 August.
And with many leading players not due to return for several weeks due to their involvement in Euro 2020 and the Copa America, Academy talent has been brought in to play a big part in the first-team squad's initial preparations for 2021/22.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer explained the thinking behind our pre-season programme when he sat down for an exclusive interview with club media.
“We’ve got six weeks together before the league starts and a couple of training camps here in the UK,” said the boss.
