Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has hinted that his players will be taking a more relaxed approach to their training ahead of the Premier League clash against Everton.
The Red Devils are set to face off against Sean Dyche's side just 72 hours after their Europa League triumph over Bodo/Glimt, with the match scheduled for an early Sunday kick-off. Amorim made six changes to his squad for the Thursday game against the Norwegian champions and suggested further rotation is on the cards as United braces itself for a hectic December schedule featuring nine games in 30 days.
The indoor pitch at the academy building is expected to be used by some players for pre-match preparations. Those who didn't feature against Bodo/Glimt will undergo full training sessions on Friday and Saturday, while those who played most of the 90 minutes and are likely to start against Everton will have a more gentle buildup.

Football players: videos more than 12 minutes? Forget!" Amorim laughed at the suggestion of video analysis. "Because they lose the concentration. So, we have to work on... imagine there's an indoor stadium - we have that. Instead of video, we do it like walking and jogging, it’s a way to do it. Showing some video.
"Then we have all the staff. For example, Carlos (Fernandes) is with the strikers. They will show individual moments. So we will try to cope with that. Everybody has a job in the staff and they are maybe more important than me!
"Trying to see the game and what is missing. They are very good players, they need to believe and we will show individual stuff. Team stuff. And work. If you cannot run, you can jog and make the same exercise."
Amorim also mentioned that Luke Shaw, who made his first United appearance in more than nine months at Ipswich on Sunday before his second-half introduction against Bodo/Glimt, trained after Thursday's game - as United carefully manage workloads.
"Without training we have to use the games," Amorim explained. "I felt that we press a little bit higher tonight and all the time and Mason Mount did 60 minutes with high intensity. Rasmus (Hojlund) was dead in the end.
"The guys playing have to push more. Push the guys to the limit. And the other guys have to train tomorrow. Luke Shaw did some minutes and he's going to train now because we can do today some things tomorrow we cannot do and we will manage with all the staff how to cope with that."
