Jose Mourinho has arrived back in Manchester after spending the weekend at his home in London following the victory at Bournemouth.
United beat the Cherries 2-1 on Saturday lunchtime, before the boss opted to go to London rather than head straight back to the Lowry for the rest of the weekend.
He then boarded a train north early on Monday morning, where he was met by his regular driver before heading straight to Carrington for training.

There is a huge week ahead for both Mourinho and United, who head to Italy to face Serie A giants Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday.
United currently sit second behind Massimiliano Allegri’s side in Group H, but a defeat in Turin will open the door to Valencia in third place.
Mourinho’s position at Old Trafford has come under heavy scrutiny, but a last-gasp victory at the weekend will have provided a much-needed boost.
United are now seventh in the table having leapfrogged Watford, but face a huge challenge against Manchester City next weekend.
Mourinho may well have been thinking about the tough tasks ahead when he arrived back in Manchester, as there was no hint of a smile on the manager’s face.
He wore his personalised United tracksuit bottoms, with an adidas gilet over a white jumper to keep out the cold Manchester wind.
The 55-year-old arrived in the north west with a rucksack and a small suitcase, the latter carried to the car by his driver.
