Man United stars got back to work on Monday following their summer breaks

By
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's stars are reportedly set to face double training sessions this week

The United players will train in the mornings and the afternoons from Monday to Friday this week as they look to improve on last season's sixth-placed finish and trophyless campaign, according to The Sun.

Solskjaer wants a fitter squad. He has gone on the record previously to express his surprise at what he inherited.

Carrington insiders told Sportsmail that the sports science department was 'almost redundant' under Jose Mourinho, something which has already changed.

That desire for energy can be seen in some of those United have been linked with and the two players they have signed this summer.
But do not expect to see United turn into some kind of youth club. They are not turning their backs on those with more miles in the legs, if they are the right fit.

Lukaku, Anthony Martial and Co were seen heading into the training ground for the first day of pre-season training.

James became the first summer arrival at Old Trafford when the 21-year-old joined from Swansea for £17million.

Defender Wan-Bissaka completed his £50m switch to United from Crystal Palace at the weekend.

it was reported that United are confident that striker Marcus Rashford will sign a new long-term contract at the club before they leave for Australia on pre-season tour.

Forget Matthijs de Ligt – officials have long since accepted that the Ajax teen captain is off to Barcelona. But elsewhere, Crystal Palace full back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has filled a position that has needed strengthening properly for years.

Daniel James will inject much-needed pace, and an ability to counter which has evaded United for some time, despite Marcus Rashford’s best efforts.

James is a player United feel they can develop, as is Sean Longstaff, 21, who has enjoyed a breakthrough season at Newcastle United.

Leicester duo James Maddison, 22, and Harry Maguire, 26, will be tough to get. The Foxes are under zero pressure to sell, although United are ready to spend big should they feel it is necessary to do so.

While much will depend on Romelu Lukaku – and his reported move to Inter Milan — United are keen on Eintracht Frankfurt’s Sebastien Haller. The striker is 24 and scored 15 in 23 league starts last season.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
