Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim returned to the club's training complex on Friday morning to start working before the season.
Amorim was completely smiling when he reported to Carrington's duty after he had enjoyed time in his native Portugal, and he was soon accompanied by his coaching staff.
Dressed in a white T-shirt and light chinos, took the 40-year-old time to shake hands with reporters behind the cameras before being filmed.
The head coach seemed to be the first to arrive on the spot, but he was quickly followed by his familiar lieutenants, including no 2 Carlos Fernandes.
The players of United are back from their summer vacation on Monday, while others will report back later in the week and Amorim seemed to get a lead.
He got about a month off, after he had led his side by a debilitating journey after the season to Asia shortly after their last Premier League match.
Amorim will now start planning the pre-seasens schedule of Jet-Setting United, which will start on July 19 with a confrontation against Leeds in Stockholm.
A few days later United will then fly to the United States for the Premier League Summer Series. There they will be confronted with West Ham, Bournemouth and Everton. The Red Devils will close their preparations against Fiorentina in Old Trafford on 9 August.
Amorim spoke at the end of May and admitted that he wanted to spend some quality time with his family – but he had already allowed his mind to wander to next season.
'Naturally, [I’m going] To spend time with my family, “he said. 'But, as I said in the press conference, I am ready to start the next one. We have a lot to do.
'A lot to prepare for. We have to think of the team and we change the building. It must be that everything is ready for the new season. '
United has so far only signed one player this summer and secure Matheus Cunha van Wolves Vooruit in a deal worth £ 62.5 million. However, they continue to insist on Brentford Ace Bryan Mbeumo, after seeing two bids, saved.
Amorim will also have to make decisions about the future of his current crop.
