Both Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo have returned to Manchester
United after poor international break showings with England and Portugal, respectively,
as the Red Devils prepare for Sunday's Manchester derby.
The United captain arrived at Carrington on Friday morning on his return from England duty, during which he was culpable for two goals in the Three Lions' dramatic 3-3 draw with Germany at Wembley on Monday night.
Wantaway star Ronaldo was also spotted reporting for training having endured
a tough spell for Portugal, including a particularly disappointing 1-0 home
loss to Spain in which he squandered several chances.

Maguire's arrival is not thought to signal any involvement in Sunday's grudge match, having failed to give Erik ten Hag any reason to start
him ahead of Raphael Varane or Lisandro Martinez with his
England showings.
The 29-year-old is set to miss the visit to the Etihad
after picking up a muscular injury on Monday against Germany.
The 37-year-old Portuguese striker was also in the wars at the weekend after a hefty coming together with Czech
Republic goalkeeper Tomas Vaclik left him with a nasty-looking black eye.
Ronaldo was left bloodied and bruised from clash in the 13th minute of the Nations League tie

Maguire, 29, picked up a muscular injury whilst playing in England's 3-3 draw on Monday
Ronaldo's struggles for his country came at the other end of the pitch and his poor form left many calling for him to
be dropped ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
Portuguese daily A Bola ran a front page on Monday that read 'Less Ronaldo, more Portugal',
highlighting his fall from grace in his country.
Erik ten Hag made the bold decision to drop both players this season, with Ronaldo making way for a seemingly resurgent Marcus Rashford,
and Maguire losing his place to new signing Martinez.
Ronaldo was heavily criticised after Portugal blew a Nations League finals place
Maguire has still managed to retain the armband at Old Trafford despite starting only
three games for his club and losing them all.
Both players have been the subject of sensational claims
to drop international football and focus on their club
careers as a result of recent displays.
In the case of the 29-year-old centre-back,
he has been publicly handed unwavering support from Gareth
Southgate, but has failed to repay that faith.
He claimed after England's 1-0 defeat to Italy that he was not
worried about 'rustiness', but looked anything but comfortable in either game as a result
of limited game time for his club.
Maguire had a difficult game against Germany on Monday
which saw him concede a penalty
Maguire also gave the ball away for Germany's second goal before England fought back
For Ronaldo, the suggestion is that his country's steadfast
refusal to drop him is hampering the development of the glittering array of attacking talent at Fernando
Santos' finger tips.
