Pretty remarkable how those guys turned the desert into not just a hotspot but luxury getaway over the last two decades.

The boys shoul be washing the floors at Old Trafford and kicking the ball in the rain!

it's a social media reality, might as well accept that this is how things are now. And have been for years.

Good to see if even for a team bonding situation.

Apparently Ole gave them a few days off - it's good to see them working on being a team.

I don't think you are seeing things as I see them. I resent seeing young rich fit and strong men having a much much better life than me.

Oh well then, so do something about it. There is a entire PLANET full of opportunity for the willing man.

Look how effortlessly cool Juan Mata is in comparison to Salt Bae on his right..

Anyone know how many of the players went? I hope it's not just the one pictured as we don't actually have that many internationals these days.

Either way, hopefully it's a positive experience and the team keeps on improving the chemistry. If we play consistently like we did recently, the season might end up being acceptable, despite the horrific start we've had.

If they could play murder mystery and take out Young it would be a very productive trip and even Poirot could figure out who done it as there would be a million suspects! :-)

You're right. But Dan Bilzerian took my share.
Dan Bilzerian took everyones share. But hey, just hit him up on IG and make a bet for $50 000 that you can beat him at rock, paper, scissor. He might say yes. You have nothing to lose. Except for 50 grand.

Nothing worse than people who become celebrities because they cook.

Nothing on social media. Absolutely feck all on social media
If no one else, Ed will encourage players media activity. Keeps generating activity for the club, which in return gets commercial opportunities. You just have to accept the new age we're in.

Does seem a little strange. You would think if it’s a training camp then everyone who is left goes including coaches manager and the rest of the staff.
Great to get a way from the British weather and that but if Ole and that aren’t there what are these guys working on? Just general fitness or wouldn’t they be preparing for the next opposition and on our own tactics and stuff back at home.

I accept it commercially. But publicized foreign travel to internationally renowned restaurants irks when we are crap. But you are correct. Problem is mine.

They might have done. Some may not like Salt Baes restaurant.
