Man Utd news: Red Devils stars take part in bizarre training exercise before Benfica clash

MANCHESTER UNITED have been training ahead of their Champions League clash with Benfica tomorrow (7.45pm).

Jose Mourinho and his squad flew out to Portugal yesterday and were pictured undergoing a training session at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon this afternoon. 

The Red Devils stars looked to be in high spirits as they took part in a bizarre exercise on the training field with Mourinho watching on. 

Marcos Rojo – who’s been sidelined with a ACL injury since April – was pictured taking part in training alongside his team-mates. However, the defender will not feature against Benfica tomorrow. 

“Rojo is not coming to play but he is coming with the team to train today with the group,” Mourinho said. 

“Tomorrow, individually, but he's coming [back]. I would say, probably in two weeks, Marcos is ready to play.”
