Harry Maguire reacts to captaincy setback and three more things spotted in Man United training

Manchester United stepped up their pre-season preparations on Tuesday ahead of their second friendly.

United returned to action with a 2-0 win over Leeds United in Oslo last week and travel to Edinburgh to face Lyon on Wednesday afternoon.

Photographs of the session, which includes fitness drills and small-sided passing games, have been released and here are four things MEN Sport spotted.
