Manchester United's Paul Pogba and Alexis Sanchez trained on Monday ahead of Tuesday's Champions League tie against Valencia, amid reports of a strained relationship with Jose Mourinho

Despite travelling to London with the team for Saturday's 3-1 defeat at West Ham, Sanchez was not part of Mourinho's matchday squad following reports the Portuguese singled him out for criticism in front of his team-mates.

Meanwhile, Pogba, who shared a frosty exchange with Mourinho the last time the Sky Sports cameras were present at Carrington, was substituted in the second half at the London Stadium.

Highlights from West Ham's 3-1 win over Manchester United in the Premier League

Mourinho says he is "really happy" to have Tuesday's match so soon after their third league defeat of the season, as it gives United a chance to bounce back after their worst start to a season in 29 years.

If they are to return to winning ways, they may have to do so without Marcos Rojo, Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young and Ander Herrera who were all absent for Monday's training session at Carrington.

There were 18 broadcasters filming the training session to capture any potential fall-out, and to hear the latest updates from the under-pressure United manager, who is due to speak to the world's press at 2pm on Monday.
