Manchester United XI Preseason Friendly

Oxford lost 2-1 to a youthful Manchester United team.  The score flatters the young visitors who witnessed some great football from the U’s, particularly in the second half.  A good performance from the whole team, but I was particularly impressed with the new signings.  There I go commenting on the performance again – must stop….leave to experts…..you only end up sounding stupid……

There was a good following from Manchester, making the long trip from the North West on a Tuesday night (joke courtesey of TC).  An attendance of 6,000 is good for preseason and a LOT of money was being spent in the club shop (£40 for a kid’s goalies shirt – 40 flipping quid!).  You can see Ryan sporting this shirt (all bleedin’ £40’s worth of it) while saving a penalty below.   Look out for the kid at the front and his celebration.

Roll on [Oxford City then] Burton!!  See you in the queue for tickets……
