JUAN MATA and Luke Shaw arrived for Manchester United training this morning in mucky motors – but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is just happy to have kept a clean sheet against Tranmere.
The Red Devils arrived at Carrington on a high after keeping a rare clean sheet while scoring six times in the FA Cup fourth-round win.

And it looks like Shaw and Mata enjoyed a little off-road driving in celebration after turning up to training in filthy motors.
Shaw particularly made the most of his 4×4 with his formerly black Range Rover caked in mud from top to bottom.
Mata’s wasn’t much better either, with his Aston Martin speckled in dirt – as though he’d used the soggy Prenton Park surface as a skid-pan.
Much was made of the “mudbath” at Tranmere – with Phil Jones particularly coated in mud during the game.
But Solskjaer was thrilled with how his side played in the 6-0 thumping.
The United boss said: “A lot has been said and written about this pitch. We played it well.
“We didn’t want to make it a long-ball fight – we got the ball down and scored nice goals.
“We have good footballers. They give everything in every game.
“You can see everyone wanted us to fail but it doesn’t bother me. I can’t be up and down [emotionally]. I’m happy but won’t relax.”
Elsewhere, Harry Maguire arrived at the Aon Training Ground in a pristine, sparkling white BMW after his Man of the Match performance at Prenton Park.
