Jose Mourinho has taken his Manchester United squad through their first training session in Los Angeles as part of their pre-season tour of the United States.

The likes of Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw, Juan Mata, Eric Bailly and Ander Herrera have travelled with the squad, which flew out from Manchester Airport on Sunday, and took part in the session at the University of California.

New signing Diogo Dalot was also part of the travelling party after his £19m move from Porto, as was goalkeeper Lee Grant, who joined from Stoke earlier this month.

New signing Fred was also on World Cup duty with Brazil.
