United quartet to return for pre-season

[Getty Images] Manchester United's squad for the high-profile pre-season friendly with Paris St-Germain in Gothenburg on 8 August will have a more familiar look. Michael Carrick has been leaning heavily on United's academy for the three matches so far this summer, with 10 youngsters involved in the 2-1 win over Atletico Madrid in Stockholm at the weekend. However, Belgium duo Senne Lammens and new signing Youri Tielemans returned to training last Thursday and this week should see four more World Cup stars back at Carrington. Portugal pair Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot, Brazil's Matheus Cunha and Morocco's Noussair Mazraoui are all due back – which will leave England's Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo, plus Argentina defender Lisandro Martinez as the only remaining players to rejoin Carrick's squad. With the travelling numbers reducing anyway given players are starting to get more minutes – Mason Mount, Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven played the full 90 against Atletico – it will provide an insight into Carrick's thinking for the campaign that lies ahead. United are still looking at their midfield options, although Mount has arguably been player of pre-season so far and has looked excellent in the number eight role alongside new arrival Andrey Santos. There is also a vacancy on the left, where there is interest in Newcastle's Lewis Hall, albeit with an acknowledgement it would be a very difficult transfer to complete – the view now is that youngster Harry Amass will leave, either on loan or permanently. Potentially, there could be a striking reinforcement to take some of the pressure off Benjamin Sesko, who is continuing his recovery from a shin problem but is expected to be fit to feature in the opening Premier League game at Hull . Wales goalkeeper Karl Darlow is still to see action as a United goalkeeper. The former Leeds man had a small procedure at the end of the season and is yet to start training with the main goalkeeping group.
