Jose Mourinho arrived for training on Monday ahead of Manchester United's Champions League showdown with Benfica.

His players weren't far behind and pulled up to United's Carrington training ground in some lavish cars just minutes after the 54-year-old tactician.

First-team regulars Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Phil Jones were both seen driving in to report for training along with Michael Carrick and Daley Blind as they prepare for their midweek tie.

United star Henrikh Mkhitaryan pulled up to United's Carrington training ground in a Mercedes

First team regular Phil Jones also reported for training as turned up in his Bentley car

Michael Carrick hasn't featured much this season and will be hopeful of some game time

Daley Blind was also spotted driving into United's AON training complex in a new Mercedes

United face a trip to the Estadio da Luz to take on Portuguese champions Benfica in a Group A match on Wednesday.

Mourinho's side have made a strong start to their Champions League campaign and sit top of the group after two comprehensive victories over Basle and CSKA Moscow.

But after the weekend's performance at Liverpool, which saw Mourinho come under severe scrutiny for his part in the goalless stalemate, he will be eager for a better showing.

The Red Devils had been in formidable goalscoring form prior to the match but offered little going forward, instead putting on a more pragmatic and defensive display.

United had been scoring for fun but looked weak in attack, even Romelu Lukaku couldn't score

Even Romelu Lukaku, who is the focal point of their attack, couldn't get on the scoresheet despite doing so with relative ease in most games this season - with seven goals in eight Premier League games.

The result also meant they lost some ground in the early title race with their rivals City now sitting top and two points clear of them.

Mourinho will want to move on from the weekend quickly and will be keen to get back to winning ways and tighten United's grip hold on the group against last-placed Benfica.
