Gareth Bale at Man Utd: 5 things we noticed while the Welsh star trains at Carrington

Gareth Bale and his teammates in Wales have trained at Carrington base in Manchester United, in anticipation of their friendly match with Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday night.

They will play the match at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground, but use the state-of-the-art facilities of former club manager Ryan Giggs to get ready.

A huge clash with Slovakia for the start of their qualifying campaign for the European Championship is coming to Cardiff on Sunday and they want to leave nothing to chance.

The appearance of Bale in Manchester has attracted a lot of interest given the rumors linking him to a move to Old Trafford in the summer.

Here are five things we noticed when Bale escaped his difficulties with Real Madrid by joining the training ground with his Welsh colleagues.

1) All smiles

Gareth Bale has arrived at Carrington.

The attacking star was photographed walking down the halls, looking delighted, while she was flanked by murals of Manchester United stars such as Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford.

He seemed to be happy to put his fights at Real Madrid behind him and join the national team for the first time in a few months.

2) United coaches observe

Two members of the Manchester United coaching team watched Bale and his teammates put themselves to the test.

Michael Carrick and Kieran McKenna were both spotted on the sidelines watching the session before trying to catch former colleague Ryan Giggs on the sideline.

3) Only one of the boys

Gareth Bale is clearly the superstar of Wales for quite a long time.

But he just stays another member of the team when he joins his teammates in Wales, with whom he has close ties.

Manager Ryan Giggs praised the "brilliant" Bale and encouraged him to score goals.

Giggs said, "It's always great because, generally, when Gareth scores, he runs. It was his first 90 minutes in three months and if he plays, he scores goals.

"Any manager would want him. When Gareth arrived, he was brilliant. He loves playing for Wales and being with his friends. He is one of the voices in the locker room. "

4) No signs of injury

Bale showed no signs of injury while he was put to the test with his teammates.

He had a tough season at Real Madrid and was briefly questioned for the international match after suffering an ankle injury in his defeat against Ajax in the Champions League.

He was beaten to take his place in the Wales team – and he did not seem to be troubled by the problem of training.

5) Future stars ready to impress

Wales may still be able to rely on Gareth Bale for the moment – but Giggs is already staring at future stars.

Harry Wilson, David Brooks and Daniel James are all in great shape and have been identified as emerging talents for the national team.

While Bale, 29, has difficulties for Real Madrid, Giggs wants his other offensive talents to relieve a little.

Giggs said, "This is the main man, Gareth, but I would also like to free myself from the pressure. Then, if it is not available, we do not rely on a single player.

"Aaron Ramsey also scored important goals. And with the emergence of Harry Wilson, David Brooks and Dan James, we have so many attack options. That's what we want, but you also recognize that you have a special player – one of the best players in the world – and want to fully exploit his strengths. "
