Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men welcome Liverpool to Old Trafford on Sunday in a mouthwatering clash as they battle to secure Champions League football next season. Paul Pogba and Co were snapped pulling into the training ground in glorious sunshine in the north west and they were joined by Anderson and Silvestre, who combined to make 303 league appearances for the Red Devils during their careers. Former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre was spotted arriving at Carrington Viv Anderson was also seen pulling into the training ground on Thursday morning Paul Pogba kept his face hidden from photographers by putting down his car's sun visor Alexis Sanchez could start against Liverpool on Sunday with the squad struggling with injuries Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, buoyed by their 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup on Monday, will be full of confidence ahead of the weekend. They will hope to carry that forward into the crucial game against old foes Liverpool on Sunday afternoon. Before Thursday's training session, the likes of Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and Alexis Sanchez were all seen arriving. A few players acknowledged the camera as they cruised into the training complex in a variety of expensive cars. Lingard will be hoping he can prove his fitness ahead of United's clash with Liverpool after missing his side's win over Chelsea on Monday. Anthony Martial is also hoping to be back to full fitness after originally being ruled out for two to three weeks. Marcus Rashford will be hoping to lead the line against Virgil van Dijk on Sunday afternoon Jesse Lingard faces a battle to be fit for the games against Jurgen Klopp's Reds Diogo Dalot stopped to sign autographs for supporters as they eagerly waited for players Ashley Young looks certain to be tasked with dealing with Mohamed Salah against Liverpool David de Gea will be well rested after missing the FA Cup victory over Chelsea on Monday Birthday boy Phil Jones was spotted arriving for training as he celebrates turning 27 Sergio Romero gave a thumbs up after his impressive performance at Chelsea on Monday Giuseppe Rossi continues to train with United as he tries to find himself a new employer Assistant manager Mike Phelan posted a picture of him plotting Liverpool's demise in his office on Thursday morning The 56-year-old wrote: 'Morning all, think tank in full flow as we prep for the weekend.' Solskjaer and Phelan have revived the form and mood at Old Trafford with only one defeat in 13 games. PSG beat United 2-0 in the Champions League but the Reds should pose the most severe Premier League test for the interim management team so far. United got the better of Liverpool in last season's fixture with Rashford scoring two in the first half as they ran out 2-1 winners at Old Trafford. Rashford is reportedly ready to sign a lucrative new six-year deal at the club. It will run until the summer of 2025, which would see him earn around £200,000-a-week. The 21-year-old has frequently been deployed up front by Solskjaer and has scored eight goals in his last 15 games.
