Three things spotted in Man United training as Ruben Amorim left sweating over injury worry

Manchester United are preparing for the clash with Nottingham Forest this weekend after the win over Brighton on Saturday.

Manchester United's preparations for the weekend game against Nottingham Forest are already underway.

United made it three wins on the spin on Saturday as they beat Brighton and Hove Albion 4-2 at Old Trafford. The players who were unused substitutes against the Seagulls or played limited minutes at the weekend took part in Sunday's training session, as did a number of academy players who were called up to boost the numbers.

The club have released a short video of the training session and MEN Sport picked out three key points from the workout.

Mount looking sharp

Before Brighton, Amorim confirmed that Mason Mount was a doubt for the fixture, which instantly caused concern given his track record with injuries.

He managed to be fit enough for a place on the bench but was not risked against the Seagulls. He took part in Sunday's training session and looked to be moving freely as he aims to regain his place in the team on Saturday.

Bayindir footwork practice

As the current back-up goalkeeper, Altay Bayindir was involved in the session along with Tom Heaton. The Turkish goalkeeper took part in a small-sided game with the outfield players.

While United have looked to be more direct with Senne Lammens in goal, being able to play out from the back is still a big part of modern-day football, and Bayindir is clearly keen to get the practice in with his feet.

Maguire not spotted

Harry Maguire was not spotted participating in the session having missed the win over Brighton through injury.

Amorim said before that game that he hoped to have Maguire back this week, but there was no sign of him in the footage released by the club. It may be that he was just not picked up by the cameras, but Amorim will hope he's available for the weekend.
