No surprises there: Sir Alex is the first to check in. He's always bright and early. Antonio Valencia wasn't far behind, though. It's good to see the Ecuadorian winger back in action after a lengthy injury lay-off.
David De Gea and Javier Hernandez arrived together and have now both checked in.

FIVE REASONS TO SUSPECT THAT PHIL JONES IS GOD
There has been speculation in recent weeks that Phil Jones, already Manchester United’s greatest signing ever, is God. We have had suspicions for a long time.
Here then, are five reasons why we have always suspected he was God:
1. His hair
It is not for us to judge the man who may well be God, but his hair is hilarious. Short, with blonde highlights which suggests he cares, and then shaped so oddly as to suggest he cannot possibly know that he has any hair. These are the mixed messages that only a God would deliver. What is he trying to say? We don’t know exactly, but presumably it’s something deeply meaningful.
2. His body
If God is great, then surely he has to be sexually agile amongst all his other qualities. The sturdy frame, the broad shoulders and thick set chest are all reasons to suspect that, as such a young man, he’s not human. Most 19 year olds look like they’d lose in a fight with a broad from a Hollyoaks calendar, whereas Phil Jones is an oak-based cocktail of Franz Beckenbauer and Duncan Edwards.
3. His mind
Phil Jones, like any god worth his salt, conveys an ideology which is simple to grasp, and like any saviour or prophet, leads by example. After getting clattered against Bolton and Arsenal, Jones simply sprung up on his spritely, slender yet rock-hewn calves to continue with the game, whereas when Gareth Bale began rolling around after Jones put him to the turf with a routine reducer, our lord saw it as an injust act, and lo, did stand above the Welshman ordering him to get up and stop being such a nancy-boy. The path of Jones is tough, and we like it.
4. His Twitter feed
Phil Jones has Twitter. With any other player we’d ignore this because insights into the lives of these silly little boys is the worst kind of tedium. Jones is different. You cannot ignore any part of a god’s message, you see. Jones uses his Twitter feed to post ultra-ironic deconstructions of other players’ feeds. Look at last night: “Looked a nasty one that. Bad collision with junior and the goalkeeper. Hope he’s okayy though!!!” Clearly, Jones is only laughing at the mock-compassion shown by other players towards Junior Hoillett; the underlying message being: come on guys, who gives a damn about this clown? Why else – why else! – would have used three exclamation marks if he wasn’t being subversive???
4.* His heart
When the chicken fiddlers came to realise they had sold Phil Jones at a bargain £16 million, Liverpool stood around ready to pay the increased price. Phil Jones, though, played a joker – he simply saw no point in playing for Liverpool, and definitely not in living there. Who can blame him? Liverpool fans performed their usual volte face of claiming him as the next Hansen when he looked set for them, and then claiming he was the next Glenn Huysen when he swerved them. A sexual beacon who hates scousers, we’ve seen this before in Gary Neville.
*Someone has pointed out that there are two number fours. This is not a mistake (it was), this is because Phil Jones, undeniably God, will not conform. Thank you.
