MANCHESTER UNITED players hit the ice baths and saunas as soon as they returned to their training ground after beating Liverpool.
The United squad arrived at their Carrington training complex at 9.30pm on Sunday night, five hours after kick-off at Anfield.
With the players determined to maintain the momentum of a first victory at Anfield since January 2016, some squad members started their recovery immediately.
The new £50million first-team hub at Carrington opened in August and features an upgraded steam room and sauna, as well as cold and hot plunge pools.
Well-placed sources were struck by how reined-in United’s dressing room celebrations were after they ended their ten-game drought at Premier League champions Liverpool.
United players reported at Carrington on Monday for a designated recovery day before their day off on Tuesday.

The win at Anfield marked United’s first back-to-back Premier League win since May 2024.
United host Brighton on Saturday, having lost their last three home games to the Seagulls.
After Brighton inflicted a second successive 3-1 defeat on United at Old Trafford in January, head coach Ruben Amorim suggested it was “maybe the worst team” in United’s history.
Amorim reshuffled his squad this transfer window in an attempt to rebuild the team.

Man Utd ratings vs Liverpool
MANCHESTER UNITED secured a famous win away at Liverpool courtesy of a late Harry Maguire header.
The Red Devils had not won at Anfield since 2016, but Ruben Amorim’s bold tactical moves paid off.
Though they did have to rely on a bad day in front of goal for their hosts as both Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo missed sitters.
Whereas down the other end, Bryan Mbeumo scored after less than two minutes with a shot that Georgi Mamardashvili may feel he should have kept out.
Gakpo did get on the scoresheet with one of his many chances as he tapped in almost on the goal-line.
But Man Utd weathered a storm from the Reds and Bruno Fernandes’ brilliant assist allowed Harry Maguire to head home the winner.
Here’s how SunSport’s Samuel Luckhurst rated the Red Devils’ stars.
Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Andre Onana are all on loan to their respective clubs.
While Alejandro Garnacho was sold to Chelsea for a sum of £40m.
United have won three of their four home games so far this term, losing only to Arsenal.
