Baleba makes first Man Utd appearance in friendly

Manchester United midfielder Carlos Baleba made his first appearance for the club in a behind-closed-doors game with Lausanne-Sports at Carrington on Friday.

Baleba is yet to feature in a competitive game for Michael Carrick's side since his £70m summer move from Brighton due to an ankle injury he suffered in pre-season.

The Cameroon midfielder was on the bench for the 1-1 draw at Fulham last month but was an unused substitute.

Baleba was fit enough to play against the Swiss League outfit, who are also part of the Ineos group.

The 22-year-old was included in pictures United published around the game, which also included Harry Maguire and Matheus Cunha.

However, there were no shots of Matthijs de Ligt, who it has been claimed was also involved as he continues to recover after having back surgery to correct a problem that has kept him out since last November.

De Ligt also travelled to Fulham but was not included in Carrick's matchday squad.
