Manchester United team warm up for EFL Cup tie against Northampton in car park

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been pictured conducting a warm-up with his players in a car park ahead of tonight's EFL Cup tie against Northampton Town.

The North-West outfit will try to end a dismal run of three consecutive defeats when they arrive at Sixfields this evening in the third round of the competition.

United have been under scrutiny of late, with reports claiming that the players are unhappy with Mourinho's public and private criticism of them.

Photos - shared on Snapchat and Twitter - appeared today showing the team stretching in a car park with Mourinho watching on.
