Romelu Lukaku took part in his first training session as a Man Utd player

United went through their paces at the Drake Stadium in UCLA - where temperatures reached almost 100 degrees.

But there was no let up from Mourinho as he prowled around the pitch barking orders at his squad.

He watched them all like a hawk as he prepares them for a three week tour of the United States.

New signing Romelu Lukaku was mobbed by fans and stopped for photos and to sign autographs before the session began.

The Belgium hitman looked in a relaxed mood as he arrived with Paul Pogba.

The two have been inseparable in recent weeks and even trained in the same group together.

They were joined by the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Ander Herrera for a sharp passing drill as Mourinho looked on.

The players had to take regular breaks for water as the heat blazed down.

Romelu Lukaku is poised to wear the No.9 shirt at Man Utd

Luke Shaw and Ashley Young both trained alone as they continue their rehabilitation from long term injuries.

Lukaku, meanwhile, is poised to wear the United No.9 shirt.

He called Zlatan Ibrahimovic to ask his permission - even though the Swede no longer belongs to United.

The duo had a long chat, with Ibrahimovic giving him advice about what it takes to succeed at Old Trafford.
