Man Utd missing 2 stars ahead of Partizan Belgrade trip

Paul Pogba and David De Gea were absent as Manchester United trained on Wednesday morning ahead of their Europa League clash against Partizan Belgrade.

United head into the European showdown in Serbia on the back of a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Premier League title-chasers Liverpool.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer put his team through their paces at their Carrington training base on Wednesday.

Jesse Lingard trained with United's players as he looks to make a return from injury while youngsters Ethan Laird, Brandon Williams and James Garner were all involved.

There was also no sign of De Gea after the goalkeeper made a surprise start in the draw with Liverpool.

De Gea suffered an injury scare while on international duty with Spain earlier this month, appearing to hurt his hamstring in a Euro 2020 qualifier in Sweden, but was able to play in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool.
