Manchester United travel to Turkey to face Fenerbahce in the Europa League tonight.
Ahead of the matchup against Jose Mourinho’s side, United’s squad were in good spirits in training on Wednesday.
Cameras caught a funny moment between Marcus Rashford and Ethan Wheatley during a drill.
Wheatley has been regularly training with the first team this season and was included in Erik ten Hag’s 20-man travelling squad to Istanbul.
He is joined by U21 teenage defenders Harry Amass and Habeeb Ugonneye.

During a rondo drill, Wheatley embarrassed Rashford by nutemgging him, much to the group’s amusement.
Joining Rashford inside the circle was Joshua Zirkzee, while Wheatley, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Rasmus Hojlund passed the ball around them.
After the incident, Rashford momentarily ran off with his head in his hands, laughing it off.
He rejoined the circle soon after and shared some more laughs with the group, according to The Express.
It seems that United’s chemistry is still strong, despite a tough start to the season.

Ten Hag has specifically praised Rashford’s work ethic this year and hopes that he can return to his best form.
After last week’s 2-1 win over Brentford, the Dutchman was delighted with the 26-year-old’s performance.
‘I really enjoyed today how he played. You see what he is capable of,’ he said.
‘We want to see this every game because then you see what he can contribute to the team.
‘Really intense and then a brilliant cross. I thought the finish was also brilliant, but the cross was really enjoyable to watch.’
However, Ten Hag stressed that relenting effort is the key to Rashford’s improvement in performance.
‘But it starts also with a fighting spirit and 100 per cent intensity.’
