Bruno Fernandes, the captain of Manchester United, has made his return to the club's training center at Carrington. This comes after his participation in the World Cup, where Portugal was eliminated in the Round of 16. Fernandes is now reuniting with his teammates, including Diogo Dalot and Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha, as the squad prepares for the upcoming season under the guidance of coach Michael Carrick.

The returning players will undergo fitness tests before being considered for participation in the upcoming friendly match against Paris Saint-Germain, scheduled to take place in Gothenburg on August 8. Alongside Fernandes, defender Noussair Mazraoui is also back after Morocco's impressive run to the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, the availability of Slovenian forward Benjamin Sesko for the match against PSG remains uncertain, as he has missed the first three pre-season friendlies due to a persistent shin issue. The team is looking to finalize its roster and ensure that all players are fit and ready as they gear up for the new season.
