Champions League football is returning to Old Trafford on Wednesday night as Manchester United host RB Leipzig in a group stage encounter.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are looking to build on their excellent opening victory over Paris Saint-Germain when they host Julian Nagelsmann's well-admired German outfit. Centre-back Dayot Upamecano is one of the key players for Leipzig, though United will be confident of gaining another big result in their quest to reach the knockout stages.
Tuesday afternoon saw Solskjaer put his squad through their paces at their Carrington training ground. Here are four important things we spotted in the United training session:
Van de Beek confidence
Solskjaer and Scott McTominay both dealt with questions about Donny van de Beek's playing time in the pre-match press conference, and both swatted aside the notion that there was any 'panic' or discontent at the Dutchman's end.
And that appeared to be reflected in training, with Van de Beek looking calm and confident and showing some nice touches in the Rondo section of the training session. He even pulled off a nice nutmeg of Axel Tuanzebe, which prompted laughter among the squad. Fred and Juan Mata also looked good in the rondos too.
Van de Beek looks very comfortable on the ball behind the scenes and that has been reflected in United matches so far. He will hope to replicate that if given the chance to start a Champions League game.

Youngsters involved
Both Teden Mengi and United's new Uruguayan winger Facundo Pellistri were involved in the training session, in a hint that the pair could be named among the substitutes tonight.
UEFA rules allow teams to make up to five substitutions in this year's Champions League, with a total of 23 players allowed on the teamsheet. It could be the perfect chance to get youngsters used to the matchday experience even if they're not directly involved.
Both Mengi and Pellistri looked well at home in elite company, however, on the United training ground as they try to impress Solskjaer.
Pogba silky
As well as Van de Beek, there have been question marks surrounding Paul Pogba's role at United following those comments, made at the start of October, about wanting to leave for Real Madrid. The Frenchman has been used off the bench in recent games, to better effect than he had starting games earlier on this season.
But like Van de Beek, Pogba looked happy enough in United training, sharing jokes with Anthony Martial and playing a few lovely weighted passes in the Rondos.
His technical ability can never be doubted if you watch him in training, but Solskjaer will want that translated onto the pitch versus RB Leipzig.
Cavani bedding in
Another element of the training session that was obvious was how Edinson Cavani appears to be getting along with his new teammates.
Despite beginning his time in the UK with two weeks quarantine, due to Covid-19 measures, the former PSG striker is now integrated into the squad having made his debut off the bench versus Chelsea. He was seen chatting to Mata and enjoying the session under Solskjaer.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-28--Improvements at Stepping Hill's A&E after previous 'inadequate' rating

Improvements have been made at an A & E unit once slammed for its shortage of nurses and stress levels among staff .
Inspectors from the Care Quality Commission ( CQC ) returned to Stepping Hospital in August after previously rating the emergency department as 'inadequate ' .
The watchdog says improvements have been made at Stockport NHS Foundation Trust , the organisation in charge of Stepping Hill .
But inspectors said more work was still needed to raise the hospital out of its overall 'requires improvement ' status .
Concerns had been raised over safety , high levels of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nurses and poor leadership following a CQC visit in January .
The CQC now say steps have been taken to tackle safety concerns and staffing levels in the hospital 's emergency department .
A staffing tool was put in place to monitor staffing levels and Band 5 nursing vacancies had been reduced .
`` Nurse staffing had improved since our inspection in January and February 2020 when we found the department did not have enough staff to keep patients safe from harm , '' the latest report said .
`` Since this inspection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ increased following an external review of staffing in the department and the use of the emergency department safer care nursing tool . ''
Yet inspectors said the adult emergency department was sometimes reliant on agency nursing staff .
This could impact the care and treatment of the patients in the department , the CQC said .
The trust was previously criticised for not having two registered children 's nurses on duty in the children 's A & E unit at all times , as required by national standards .
There had been two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ where there was only one children ’ s nurse in the department at night and patients had been aggressive towards them .
They were not seriously harmed .
The CQC said provision had improved and that there were two children 's nurses on duty 98pc of the time .
Mental health assessment and facilities had also improved , the CQC said .
A mental health risk assessment tool had been introduced for adults and children , plus a rolling mental health training programme for all staff in A & E .
The leadership @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fire in previous inspections .
The latest CQC report said leadership had been 'strengthened ' since January .
Some members of staff told inspectors the Covid-19 pandemic had been an opportunity to 'reset ' the A & E department .
`` As there were lower numbers of patients , staff had time to complete training and to be involved in the operational development to make the improvements needed in the department following publication of the CQC report .
`` There had been involvement from staff in the development of the mental health standard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ patients forums had been involved in mental health developments . ''
The report added : `` The increase in staffing numbers and the changes in the nursing leadership had led to an improved patient safety culture in the department . ''
Overall , the CQC said the 'momentum of change ' at Stepping Hill 's A & E needed to be maintained to ensure improvements were sustainable in the medium and long term , including times of increased pressure , like winter .
`` Flow through the department to the rest of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are not in the department for longer than necessary , '' the report added .
To improve , the trust is urged to reduce its reliance on agency staff , continue to embed the patient safety checklist in A & E and ensure that all staff are fully engaged in departmental change .
The inspection is not rated and the overall ratings of 'Requires Improvement ' for both the hospital and trust still stand .
Louise Robson , chief executive of Stockport NHS Foundation Trust , said : “ When the inspectors came @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found care that was not of the standard that our staff wanted to provide to patients .
`` We took immediate action to address the concerns raised by the CQC , and it is good to see the outcome of those actions now being recognised .
But perhaps more importantly the improvements we have made are appreciated by patients who need emergency care .
“ When CQC inspectors returned in August they commented that they had expected to see improvements , but they were particularly surprised to see the positive changes in team @ @ @ @ @ @ @ relatively short period of time.
” Mrs Robson added : “ The latest CQC report is testament to the huge amount of work the emergency team has carried out over the last few months , but the improvements could not have been achieved without the support of staff right across the Trust , for example , improving patient flow through the hospital which gave the department the opportunity to focus on making lasting changes .

There had been two incidents on March 29 and April 25 where there was only one children’s nurse in the department at night and patients had been aggressive towards them. They were not seriously harmed.
The CQC said provision had improved and that there were two children's nurses on duty 98pc of the time.
Mental health assessment and facilities had also improved, the CQC said.
A mental health risk assessment tool had been introduced for adults and children, plus a rolling mental health training programme for all staff in A&E.
The leadership of Stockport NHS Foundation Trust came under fire in previous inspections.
The latest CQC report said leadership had been 'strengthened' since January.
Some members of staff told inspectors the Covid-19 pandemic had been an opportunity to 'reset' the A&E department.
"As there were lower numbers of patients, staff had time to complete training and to be involved in the operational development to make the improvements needed in the department following publication of the CQC report.
"There had been involvement from staff in the development of the mental health standard operating procedure.
"We saw that patients forums had been involved in mental health developments."
The report added: "The increase in staffing numbers and the changes in the nursing leadership had led to an improved patient safety culture in the department."
Overall, the CQC said the 'momentum of change' at Stepping Hill's A&E needed to be maintained to ensure improvements were sustainable in the medium and long term, including times of increased pressure, like winter.

The inspection is not rated and the overall ratings of 'Requires Improvement' for both the hospital and trust still stand.
Louise Robson, chief executive of Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, said: “When the inspectors came at the beginning of the year they found care that was not of the standard that our staff wanted to provide to patients.
"We took immediate action to address the concerns raised by the CQC, and it is good to see the outcome of those actions now being recognised. But perhaps more importantly the improvements we have made are appreciated by patients who need emergency care.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-28--Phil answers Holly 'feud' claims and addresses their This Morning future

Phillip Schofield has answered back to 'feud ' claims with Holly Willoughby as well as addressing their This Morning future .
Reports late last year suggested that the ITV presenter was locking horns with his co-stars and causing a 'toxic ' atmosphere on set .
There were claims that there was a heightened tension between him and Holly Willoughby as well as fellow daytime host Ruth Langsford .
The presenting duo have never directly addressed the claims but remained united on and off screen .
Phillip , 58 , has recently spoken out about how the pair were actually closer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Holly about his sexuality .
He explained how the statements had almost `` rocked '' his career as he struggled with being gay and the implication on his family .
Speaking on Chris Evans ' How to Wow podcast , Phillip addressed the claims `` tension '' in the ITV studio : `` There was nothing that was being said that had any truth in it whatsoever .
`` There was no and there has never been a feud with Holly .

Phillip Schofield has answered back to 'feud' claims with Holly Willoughby as well as addressing their This Morning future.
Reports late last year suggested that the ITV presenter was locking horns with his co-stars and causing a 'toxic' atmosphere on set.
There were claims that there was a heightened tension between him and Holly Willoughby as well as fellow daytime host Ruth Langsford.
The presenting duo have never directly addressed the claims but remained united on and off screen.
Phillip, 58, has recently spoken out about how the pair were actually closer than ever as he had actually confided in Holly about his sexuality.
He explained how the statements had almost "rocked" his career as he struggled with being gay and the implication on his family.
Speaking on Chris Evans' How to Wow podcast, Phillip addressed the claims "tension" in the ITV studio: "There was nothing that was being said that had any truth in it whatsoever.
"There was no and there has never been a feud with Holly.
"When they're writing 'Phillip and Holly and feud' we couldn't have been closer because I'd told her my secret and she was holding me together at work."

The presenter added: "The fact there was a toxic atmosphere in This Morning, there has never been anything like that, everyone is equal, we all love each other, they were worried about me, we all talk about each other's families and their lives, it's a tight-knit team."
As for their future on the ITV show, Phillip said: "It's constantly reported, Holly and Phillip leaving This Morning…no matter how many times we say, there are absolutely no plans to leave This Morning.
"There are literally no plans for me to leave This Morning, I adore that show."
Phillip even broke down in tears last week when Holly in a live radio interview with Chris Evans.
He was speaking about his new book on the Virgin Radio Breakfast Show when he was overcome with emotion as he praised his co-star and friend.
Schofe said: "Holly has been astonishing. Literally, the best mate.
"She's serene and calming and sensible and balanced. Not just for me but also for Steph."

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-28--Bolton striker 'took opportunity' with Doyle set to miss 'three to four weeks'

Bolton Wanderers striker Arthur Gnahoua took the opportunity presented to him in the start against Bradford City after replacing the injured Eoin Doyle who is due to be out for three to four weeks , according to Ian Evatt .
Gnahoua , 28 , made his third start of the season in all competitions for Wanderers in the 1-0 victory over the Bantams .
He partnered Nathan Delfouneso up front after replacing injured Bolton striker Doyle , who limped off with a hamstring injury early in the second half of Saturday 's draw against Cambridge United .
Doyle had a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and , speaking after last night 's victory , Evatt said the Irishman is poised to be out for between three and four weeks .
But Doyle 's absence has now opened up a berth in the striking department and Evatt felt Gnahoua has taken the opportunity afforded to him .
Evatt said : “ Eoin Doyle ’ s a fantastic player and a huge part of what we ’ re doing .
He ’ s missing for three to four weeks now so there ’ s an opportunity for Arthur and he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He was excellent .
`` The only thing with Nathan and Arthur is they ’ re both receivers and ball carriers so they like to link play and drop into pockets , but to create the space we want to create and have possession , we need at least one of those stretching the back line to create the space for someone else .
`` At times , the two of them were coming to feet , but that ’ s something we ’ ll work on in training and we have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But there ’ s lots to be pleased about .
I ’ m more happy for my goalkeeper who really deserved that . ''
Wanderers ' first half performance was arguably the best 45 minutes Bolton have played at home so far this campaign , and they took a deserved lead through Delfouneso after taking advantage of some sloppy Bantams defending .
Evatt admitted his side won 'ugly ' after fighting off a Bradford surge after the breaks and clarified what he means by that .
He said : “ We were excellent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mean by ugly is I like my teams to dominate the ball and dominate possession .
I prefer us to have control with possession rather than having to fight and dig and defend our box really well .
`` However I knew the type of game it was going to be .
We knew that we ’ d hurt them on transition .
We did in the second half , but we just didn ’ t take out chances .
`` Ali ( Crawford ) left his shooting boots at home but I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a player and I know that he will score those chances nine times out of 10 in any other game .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-10-28--Bruno Fernandes has a new role to play at Manchester United

The thorny issue of Donny van de Beek reared its head once again in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's press conference before Manchester United versus RB Leipzig .
This time , Solskjaer was ready for it .
He 's no fool and will have read the headlines in the wake of United 's 0-0 draw with Chelsea , which brought criticism for the way he is using ( or is n't using ) the Dutchman .
`` At the moment , I realise the topic is Donny van de Beek and it ’ s nice for some [ former ] players @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , '' said the Norwegian after the usual comments about competition for places , and extra squad depth .
`` I know you 're short for time when you 're on telly and you have to put your points across very quickly but you have to know that you don ’ t have to start the first three games to be a very important player in the squad . ''
Solskjaer equated the situation to his own as a player under Sir Alex Ferguson at United , when he rarely started consistently across @ @ @ @ @ @ @ useful impact sub instead .

The thorny issue of Donny van de Beek reared its head once again in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's press conference before Manchester United versus RB Leipzig.
This time, Solskjaer was ready for it. He's no fool and will have read the headlines in the wake of United's 0-0 draw with Chelsea, which brought criticism for the way he is using (or isn't using) the Dutchman.
"At the moment, I realise the topic is Donny van de Beek and it’s nice for some [former] players or commentators to have a little go," said the Norwegian after the usual comments about competition for places, and extra squad depth.
"I know you're short for time when you're on telly and you have to put your points across very quickly but you have to know that you don’t have to start the first three games to be a very important player in the squad."
Solskjaer equated the situation to his own as a player under Sir Alex Ferguson at United, when he rarely started consistently across a season but was invariably an extremely useful impact sub instead. It was an interesting parallel and you wonder if it's a fair one given United paid close to £40million for Van de Beek, who will surely expect to start more games in due course.

The bottom line was clear, though, despite all that: "Donny’s going to be very, very important for us, don’t worry about that."
In this particular press conference, Solskjaer was flanked by Scott McTominay and the midfielder echoed that line that there was "no panic" about the Van de Beek situation inside Old Trafford.
The comments from both men pointed towards an increase in Van de Beek's game-time before long.

You wonder if Bruno Fernandes' position in the team may have to change.

But when Pogba came on as a second half substitute against Chelsea, it was in Fernandes' No.10 role as the Portuguese shifted to a wide right position.
And okay, Fernandes did not see much of the ball there before switching back, but if he hones his skills as a right-sided playing cutting inside like Juan Mata did for a long time at United, he could certainly do a job there.
