Salford City 2-1 Everton - give us your verdict

There was a show of strength from Manchester United’s hierarchy at the opening training session at UCLA on Friday.Club director Sir Dave Brailsford was present, along with sporting director Dan Ashworth and technical director Jason Wilcox.They had a group chat with manager Erik ten Hag at one point.One other familiar face was Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has returned to the club as assistant manager, 18 years after his stint as a player ended, with the Dutchman scoring 150 goals in five seasons.Van Nistelrooy has been out of the game since leaving PSV Eindhoven in 2023 and was speaking to a couple of clubs, including Burnley, about becoming their manager.However, when Ten Hag got in touch, he felt he had to accept and Van Nistelrooy has no issues working for a boss rather than being one.

Manager Sean Dyche reacts to a 2-1 friendly defeat at League Two Salford City, where his side led but made a host of changes during the fixture:"The main group of what you would call recognised first team players have had another big week, so I am pretty happy with their efforts or output. We still have a number of injuries obviously."Then we have a group of younger players on, some of them are finding their way and are not where they need to be for the Premier League yet but it's an experience for their immediate futures if they go on loan."We are way short of our main group, which we know, due to injuries and still need support through the markets which we are trying to do."At this stage it's getting as many minutes into players but not risking them."James Tarkowski, Dele Alli, Iliman Ndiaye and Jarrad Branthwaite are among a group of players carrying knocks but Dyche said: "The main message is they are not serious injuries. But we have to be careful."
