Man Utd set for April training camp in Ireland ahead of Premier League run-in

Manchester United will gear up for the Premier League run-in with an Irish training camp next month, the Press Association understands.

Michael Carrick has led the Red Devils up to third in the Premier League since taking over for the remainder of the campaign following Ruben Amorim’s acrimonious January departure.

United drew 2-2 at Bournemouth last Friday before an unusual 24-day wait to host rivals Leeds due to a mix of the international break, their lack of European action and early FA Cup exit.

A money-spinning mid-season trip to the Middle East had been considered earlier in the campaign, but talk had cooled even before the conflict erupted in the region at the end of last month.

United instead plan to travel to Ireland after the international break for an intense training period from April 6th-9th.

PA understands Carrick’s side will be based around 30 minutes outside of Dublin.
