“So we’ll get together on Saturday and we’ll have a good camp, working on different things.
“Of course, we’ve got a few new players, hopefully, we can integrate them into the squad.
“[The players] have been fantastic. We’ve had to, with all the injuries we’ve had, rely on many of these to maybe play more games than they should, and they’ve been brilliant.
“Yes, we’ve had ups and downs, but it shows that we do miss the injured players so, yeah, it’ll be a nice break and I think it’s about time we had that in England.
“I think all teams will get their energy levels back.”
A win for Manchester United will Brighten their hope of finishing top four, qualifying for the Champions League in a season that has been up and down for the Red Devils.
