Luke Shaw 's determination to make a swift return to match fitness continued ahead of Manchester United players' return for pre-season training next week.
Shaw tweeted a picture of himself at a training ground - which did not appear to be United's Carrington training complex - and informed his followers he was now 'building up for pre-season'.
Memphis, Andreas Pereira, Adnan Januzaj and Timothy Fosu-Mensah have all uploaded videos of their gym work in the close season and Shaw is the latest to update supporters ahead of United's pre-season tour of China.
Senior United sources told M.E.N. Sport players will return to the training ground on different days from July 1 for testing, with formal training beginning either on July 6 or 7.
The 20-year-old has not played since he broke his leg in two places during United's Champions League defeat at PSV Eindhoven in September but returned to training in April.

Shaw was initially set the target of an FA Cup final return date but was ruled out of contention a week before United's 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
It is feasible Shaw could don the United shirt in just 29 days' time, when The Reds face Borussia Dortmund in their first pre-season game in Shanghai.
With six players in the squad capable of playing at left-back Shaw faces intense competition, but his stirring start last season reminded United fans just why the club paid £27million for him.
