Cristiano Ronaldo fit and Paul Pogba involved - What we learned from Manchester United training

Manchester United were back in training on Friday at Carrington ahead of the visit of West Ham on Saturday.

The match could prove to be a crucial one in United's pursuit of the Champions League.

David Moyes' team currently occupy fourth place with 37 points from 22 games while the Red Devils sit two points behind in seventh position having played a game less.

MEN Sport has been taking a look at the images from training on Friday and this is what we discovered.

1) Paul Pogba features again

United's French midfielder has been missing from competitive football since the European trip to Atalanta.

His teammate Cristiano Ronaldo tweeted a picture from training showing Pogba involved.

And he was certainly playing a part today despite rumours circulating that he will not be at Old Trafford next season.

2) Cristiano Ronaldo all smiles after Brentford substitution

Ronaldo looked a lot happier in training today than he did on Wednesday night.

His reaction to being substituted at Brentford has split opinion in the football world.

That seems far behind him now though as he smiled for the cameras at Carrington.

3) Two forgotten men take part

Jesse Lingard and Amad both played their parts in training today.

Lingard has been heavily linked with a loan move to Newcastle United this week.

Meanwhile Amad has failed to play a crucial role for the Manchester United first team so far this campaign.

4) Harry Maguire looks prepared for a return to the starting XI

The Manchester United captain missed the Wolves defeat due to a chest injury and started on the bench against Aston Villa and Brentford.

He made a cameo appearance in the latter fixture but looks set to start again on Saturday.

Maguire looked fully back up to speed at Carrington today.

5) Anthony Elanga remains firmly in Ralf Rangnick's plans

The Swedish youngster has had a brilliant week so far.

An impressive display at Villa Park was topped with a goal at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Nobody would begrudge him another start at Old Trafford tomorrow.
