Four Manchester United stars were absent from training on Thursday morning, just days before the Red Devils' crunch Premier League clash against rivals Liverpool. 

Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha, Amad Diallo and Casemiro were all missing from the main group session at Carrington, as manager Ruben Amorim opted to give the quartet extra time off.

Sky Sports footage from the open section of training showed none of the four involved, though, according to reports the decision was precautionary rather than injury-related. 

Amorim’s side are preparing for another big test as they seek back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time this campaign.

The absences come at a crucial time for United, who returned to winning ways before the international break with a 2-0 win over Sunderland. 

United are already expected to be without full-back Noussair Mazraoui for the clash at Anfield.
