Manchester United have told their players that they are planning for a returning to training on May 18.
United's first-team squad will initially report back in small groups ahead of a planned return in a larger group if all goes well initially.
The decision comes as plans for restarting the Premier League in June continue to gather pace, with clubs set to hold further discussions on that subject on Monday.
After telling their players who had travelled abroad to return within the next seven days, United's players have now been informed about how and when training will recommence at Carrington.
Some of United's Premier League rivals have already returned to their training bases, but Andreas Pereira has revealed United's squad have been told May 18 is the date they are set to go back.
"We had a meeting and were told that if everything is going well, we'll be back in training on May 18 in groups of six," Pereira told Globo Esporte.
"If that goes well, a week or two later, we'll be able to train as a group.
"There will be six players training initially and there won't be much contact between us. We'll still be separated and training in different parts of the pitch. Those precautions have to be followed.
"I don't know who'll be in my group yet."
Under the title of Project Restart, the Premier League and the government have been in discussions about bringing Premier League football back in June, at neutral venues and behind closed doors.
With those plans now beginning to take shape clubs have made the decision to get their players back into England and to finalise a return to training.
