Speaking at his weekly press conference at Carrington, the manager revealed that Wayne Rooney will not travel with the squad.
He said: 'Everyone who was involved on Wednesday is available. I know there were reports in the paper about Rooney being possible, but that is not the case. He's not far away, I think he may be fine for next week.
'He's doing a lot of great training and has been working hard. It's just a matter of getting him into the full football training side of things, which he has done part of.
'Ashley Young has got a bruised cartilage - I think it's going to take two or three weeks more for him. We're just taking our time with that one. You can easily play with it and train but we're not going down that road, we want to make sure he's okay.
'We get a lot of experiences these days of injuries reoccurring when they come back too quickly and we don't want that with the players - we want to give them a full recovery. He should be okay with two or three weeks’ time.'
