Manchester United’s want-away star Paul Pogba was spotted flying out with his more happy teammates on the club’s pre-season tour.
The Frenchman will undoubtedly get the bulk of the headlines but fans were pleased to see their two new signings and a host of youngsters on board.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be given his first real opportunity to put a stamp on his team as it will be his first pre-season with United.
Given how the Norwegian’s intense, high-tempo tactics burnt out his players towards the end of the last campaign, he will be hoping to improve their fitness ahead of a crucial season.
It will be the first real chance the players will get to become accustomed to Solskjaer’s style and plenty of them appeared happy to be onboard.

Before the pre-season tour’s squad could be announced, there were a host of reports claiming Pogba would not be on board as a form of a protest to force through a move to Real Madrid or Juventus.
Luckily the club were saved that embarrassment and normal service can hopefully resume for the rest of the tour.
Theer are plenty of things to get excited about as the Red Devils prepare for next season and it’d be a shame to spend that time worrying about Paul instead.
