Joey Barton's hopes that he was going to get straight back into training after his release from jail on Monday were dashed when he was summoned to a meeting with United's top brass of Keegan, managing director Derek Llambias, his own agent Willie McKay and football secretary Lee Charnley.

The player will resume training again today - while most of the first team squad is in Majorca.

Nike have terminated their £40,000-a-year contract with Barton.
