Manchester United stars have arrived back in the North West after coming away from Norway with a comfortable 3-0 win over Valerenga in their penultimate pre-season friendly.
United will face Sampdoria in Dublin on August 2 in their final warm-up match, and will go in with momentum after their visit to Norway.
Marouane Fellaini, who arrived back in Manchester with his big toe strapped up, opened the scoring in Oslo on Sunday, before Romelu Lukaku powered home a header to double the advantage. Scott McTominay then sealed the win with his first goal for United.

It was a timely goal for Fellaini, who has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer. But following his goal against the Norwegian outfit, boss Jose Mourinho insisted the Belgian was not going anywhere.
And Fellaini arrived back at Manchester Airport at 12.30am on Monday morning along with the rest of his United team-mates who made the trip to Oslo.
It was a quick turnaround for Mourinho's men, who have endured a hectic pre-season so far.
United had barely touched down from their successful pre-season tour of the United States before heading up to Scandinavia for the friendly.
Mourinho would have been pleased with their stateside exploits, winning five out of their six games across the Atlantic.

Their sole defeat came at the hands of Barcelona, but United claimed the scalps of rivals Manchester City and La Liga giants Real Madrid while overseas.
United will come up against Real once more after their clash with Sampdoria, to battle it out for the UEFA Super Cup on August 8.
Their Premier League season will then kick off against West Ham at Old Trafford the following Sunday.
