- Story Text: Premier League leaders Manchester United have had a warm-weather training break in Qatar.
The players flew out on Sunday night (January 20) after their 1-1 Premier League draw with Tottenham Hotspur and were due back on Thursday (January 24).
Some media reports suggested injury-affected Wayne Rooney was hurt again and seen holding his thigh and hobbling, but he looked happy enough on Thursday.
United host Fulham on Saturday (January 26) in the FA Cup fourth round, then Southampton on January 30 in the Premier League.
The Reds top the league with 56 points from 23 matches, to Manchester City's 51 and Chelsea's 45.
United also face Real Madrid away on February 13 in a Champions League last 16, first leg. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
