The Red Devils have flown to Lisbon for their third Champions League group stage game of the season, and Marcos Rojo was a welcome addition to the travelling party.

The Argentinian centre-back or left-back was a key player last season, but suffered a cruciate ligament injury in the Europa League quarter-final win over Anderlecht in April.

He is not expected to play at the Estadio Da Luz tomorrow, but his presence indicates a first-team return is close.

Former striker Andy Cole, now a club ambassador, was pictured joining the players and coaching staff at the airport too.
