Former Manchester United players Angel Gomes and Jesse Lingard have been spotted training in Manchester together.
The video was filmed recently and uploaded on the 7th of January to social media.
The two academy products were seen training alongside side United Women player Gabby George.
They were completing training drills where they showed off their one-touch passes and movement off the ball.

Jesse Lingard left the club in 2023 and recently completed his first season in South Korea for FC Seoul.
He played 26 matches in the K League, scoring six times and providing three assists.
The Warrington born player’s season ended in November and will begin again in the spring.
More interesting for United fans though will be the presence of Angel Gomes, who left the club in 2020 to join French side LOSC Lille.
The 24 year old has been highly impressive since, making 129 appearances for the Ligue 1 side. He was also rewarded for his fine form by receiving his first call up to the senior England team last year.
Interestingly, Gomes will be out of contract in the summer and he has been spectacularly linked to a return to Old Trafford.
The midfielder is reported to be “open” to a switch back to United and it has also been rumoured that new coach Ruben Amorim would also be attracted to the idea of seeing Gomes back in the famous red shirt.
Gomes has been described as a player who “has the skill and balance to weave magic no matter how deep his position is” and would be an exciting addition to Amorim’s squad.
He has recently been out of action due to an injury picked up earlier in the season but did return to the squad to face FC Nantes last week and may see a return to first team action this week when Lille take on Auxerre.
