United will have to make do without star man Cristiano Ronaldo for the first part of their pre-season tour.
The 37-year-old rocked the Red Devils last week as he asked them to let him leave the club amid his frustrations over transfers and a lack of Champions League football.
Ronaldo, who is wanted in a £14million move by Chelsea, then did not return as expected for training on Monday.
He was given an extended leave of absence due to a family issue.
It remains to be seen whether he joins up with them out there at a later date.

Erik ten Hag’s men will play Melbourne Victory on July 15, followed by Crystal Palace on the following Tuesday.
To end their tour down under, United will then play Aston Villa on July 23.
