However, the United boss has abandoned his plans to take the squad south after the Boxing Day game at Wigan so they could prepare for the game with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge a week today.
The United boss added: "Hotels are a bit under-staffed over the Christmas period so we will be coming straight home on Boxing Day which will be better for us if we have any players in need of treatment."
