Man United duo return to training ahead of Community Shield
Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo returned to Man United after participating in England’s EUROs tournament.
The Three Lions reached the tournament’s final only to be beaten 2-1 by Spain.
Neither Shaw nor Mainoo played in England’s earlier tournament fixtures. Shaw didn’t regain full fitness until the semi-final and Gareth Southgate preferred to try Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Gallagher in midfield ahead of Mainoo.

However, with both players eventually playing important roles for their country, they were given an extended period off ahead of the new 2024-25 season.
And according to a recent report from Manchester Evening News, the pair, who skipped the side’s pre-season tour of the United States, have now returned to their club and joined team training.
The Red Devils will be hoping the pair won’t take long to get up to speed as Erik Ten Hag prepares for Saturday’s Community Shield at Wembley against bitter-rivals Manchester City.
United’s first Premier League fixture is a home tie against Fulham on Friday 16 August.
