Manchester United could lose two of their eight dressing room leaders this summer

There will be a different look to Manchester United when they line up for their first pre-season fixture against Leeds this week.

Erik ten Hag welcomed a selection of players back to Carrington for training last Thursday, but they will have to wait a while longer before some of the most senior stars return.

United are due to welcome back 15 international players over the next week ahead of leaving for their pre-season tour of the United States, with those who were involved in last month's internationals entitled to a three-week break.

It means Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, Victor Lindelof, Anthony Elanga, Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia, Facundo Pellistri, Alex Telles and Eric Bailly will not be involved in Oslo on Wednesday but will travel with the squad to Edinburgh for their match with Lyon on July 18.

While his exit has been expected for a few weeks, it will still be odd to get used to the fact that he has gone after 12 years at the club
