Man Utd stars hitting the gym and bulking up in bid to impress new manager Ten Hag before pre-season camp
MANCHESTER UNITED'S players are hitting the gym as they bid to get into shape ahead of new manager Erik ten Hag's pre-season training camp.
The Dutch coach is set to arrive at Old Trafford on Sunday, with pre-season preparations beginning a day later.
And his Man Utd stars have been putting in the graft in the gym as they look to impress him from the get-go.
Marcus Rashford, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Scott McTominay, Anthony Elanga and Axel Tuanzebe have all shared snaps of them bulking up during the summer.
They will be hoping the work on their condition will help them on the pitch as they seek to bounce back after the team's dreadful 2021-22 campaign.
