Manchester United stars hit the training pitches preparing for a big push to make the Champions League places.

United were starting to get their act together before the suspension of the Premier League - since a defeat at Bournemouth in November, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side beat Manchester City twice, and restart the season unbeaten in 11 league and cup matches.

Sitting fifth in the table, they are three points off a Champions League spot with nine games left.

Forward Odion Ighalo extended his loan deal and he was one of the players looking sharp as United prepare to visit Tottenham on Friday night, coming up against former manager Jose Mourinho.

United then play Sheffield United at home and Brighton away as they try to narrow the gap on fourth-placed Chelsea.

Here's a selection of pictures from their latest training session on Wednesday. To view the next image in the picture gallery above, click on the arrows or simply swipe.

Real estate tokenisation project

Dubai launched the pilot phase of its real estate tokenisation project last month.

The initiative focuses on converting real estate assets into digital tokens recorded on blockchain technology and helps in streamlining the process of buying, selling and investing, the Dubai Land Department said.

Dubai’s real estate tokenisation market is projected to reach Dh60 billion ($16.33 billion) by 2033, representing 7 per cent of the emirate’s total property transactions, according to the DLD.
