U23 talent & star defender sporting black eye spotted as Man United squad depart for Norwich
A number of Manchester United’s stars were spotted arriving for the club’s private flight set for Norwich earlier this evening.
Canaries test
The Red Devils will of course be back in action tomorrow evening.
In one of a host of high-profile fixtures on Saturday, Ralf Rangnick and co. are primed to make the trip to Carrow Road, for a Premier League meeting with the aforementioned Norwich City.
United will no doubt head into proceedings confident in their chances of securing a result, on the back of a solid spell of form of late.
Following a credible draw with Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea and a 3-2 downing of top-6 rivals Arsenal, the Manchester giants made it four unbeaten across all competitions courtesy of a hard-fought downing of Crystal Palace last weekend.
Upcoming opponents Norwich, on the other hand, slipped to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham, leaving the Canaries glued to the foot of the Premier League table.

Maguire amongst travelling party
Nevertheless, Ralf Rangnick, on the back of a solid if unspectacular start to life on the Manchester United bench, will no doubt be keen to have as many of his key performers as possible fit and raring to go from the off at Carrow Road.
And, as alluded to above, this evening, an insight into some of the members of the Red Devils squad confirmed to have made the trip to East Anglia has been provided.
The info comes courtesy of the Manchester Evening News, whose photographers caught a glimpse of no fewer than eleven players at Manchester Airport.
The most noteworthy came in the form of youngster Anthony Elanga, a surprise regular feature under Rangnick’s watch to date.
Also spotted were the likes of captain Harry Maguire, sporting a black eye no doubt picked up in training this week, and fellow defenders Phil Jones and Luke Shaw:
