Manchester United put the finishing touches to their preparations for Thursday night's Europa League clash with Cypriot outfit Omonia Nicosia on Wednesday morning in an open training session at Carrington.
The Reds, following Sunday's 6-3 horror show at the hands of City in the Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium, will be determined to bounce back in the best way possible when they lock horns with the Cypriot minnows. Omonia are bottom of Group E after losing their opening two Europa League matches this term.
United, by contrast, sit second in the group after winning one and losing one of their opening two matches. They got their first points on the board prior to the recent international break, beating Sheriff Tiraspol 2-0 in Moldova, courtesy of goals from Jadon Sancho and Cristiano Ronaldo.
