Manchester United boss David Moyes is ready to his squad to the Middle East to escape the pressure after recent results.
The Telegraph says Moyes, whose team go into Saturday's Premier League fixture at home to Swansea City aiming to avoid a fourth successive defeat, has identified the weekend of the FA Cup fourth round later this month as a potential window to take the squad away from Manchester for warm-weather training. The favoured destination is understood to be the Aspire facility in Qatar.
United have twice visited Qatar for midwinter breaks in recent seasons and, after they suffered an FA Cup third-round exit against Swansea last Sunday, the club are investigating the possibility of a four-day break between the Capital One Cup second leg against Sunderland on Jan 22 and the league game at home to Cardiff City six days later.
