Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha, Amad and Casemiro missed Manchester United training on Thursday morning as the quartet were given extra time off by manager Ruben Amorim.

The quartet were not pictured in this morning's session, part of which was filmed by Sky Sports.

United take on Liverpool on Sunday as they look to win back-to-back matches in the Premier League for the first time this season.

Ruben Amorim is likely to be without Noussair Mazraoui, who has missed the last two matches with what has been described as a minor injury.

The Morocco defender didn't play in his country's World Cup qualifier with Congo on Monday.

Lisandro Martinez wasn't there either but he is edging closer to a return after major knee surgery and it will be interesting to see if he makes a matchday squad before the November international break.

Shea Lacey, Jim Thwaites and Jack Fletcher were amongst the youngsters involved, while Ayden Heaven missed out after he was taken off at half-time in England's Under-20 international defeat by Switzerland last Friday.
