England forward, Marcus Rashford, was also sighted arriving for the session after a below-par performance in Spain.
Meanwhile, Solskjaer has declared that some Manchester United players need a ‘reality check’ in the coming days, to ascertain the level of readiness to play at the top.
Speaking ahead of United’s trip to Goodison Park on Sunday, April 21, the Norwegian said: "I've learned a lot about them over the months I've been here now.
"You get to know them, most of them have really impressed me in their attitude and there are some that need to get a reality check on where they're at.
"When you're out there, there is no hiding place, you can't hide and everyone can see where your levels are at.
"We're also working on training here with a fantastic staff I've got to create this culture that we want.
"You've got players to take ownership of what's happening here as well.
