What did you see from MU's latest training session in Spain?

Taking advantage of the winter break, Man United recently moved their troops to Marbella (Spain) to avoid the cold and train. Their latest training session had a few notable points as follows.

Before going out on the field to do ball exercises, the whole team warmed up in the gym. This fact shows that coach Solskjaer is especially interested in the physical factor in football.

Because goalkeeper number 3 Lee Grant was injured and had to rest for 2 to 3 months, MU recently recruited Nathan Bishop from Southend United to be ready to replace David de Gea and Sergio Romero when needed. In the last training session, Bishop wore the number 30 shirt.

Midfielders Scott McTominay and Axel Tuanzebe did not contribute anything to MU in 2020 due to injury. Now both are almost recovered but still have to practice separately and cannot apply the same training plan as the rest of the players in the team.

The next generation of football geniuses will only be like Ronaldo, there will be no second Messi

Former Real Madrid striker Jorge Valdano believes the next generation of football geniuses will be more "superhuman" like Cristiano Ronaldo than "miracles" like Lionel Messi.

Granted that a football genius is born every 15 or 20 years, the next one will have a more academic background.

In the view of the 1986 World Cup winner, his compatriot Messi is a unique type of player that future football superstars cannot emulate. Instead, Ronaldo-like physical qualities will prevail.

"Messi contradicts everything. As a genius, he can change anything. There is only one Messi. It's hard to know what will happen after Messi retires."
