Games are coming thick and fast now. I hope Foster Simpson and Campbell all get the nod from the start

Just got a few beers in, ready to relax and watch this one now . Hope we play better than against the Kaiser Chiefs and just avoid any injuries.

Hoping Wes has a stormer as well. Would love to see him play well after the week he's had.

Brown to face Pirates

Wes Brown will start in tonight’s Vodacom Challenge encounter with the Orlando Pirates, before flying home to Manchester on Wednesday following the death of his half sister on the weekend.

Sir Alex will also hand starts to youngsters Jonny Evans, Darron Gibson and Lee Martin, while goalkeeper Ben Foster will make his first appearance in United colours since March.

Chris Eagles, United’s scorer in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Kaizer Chiefs, is rewarded with another start, and Fraizer Campbell will partner Carlos Tevez up front.

Sir Alex had already indicated Rio Ferdinand would play after the England defender was forced out of Saturday's clash after suffering a back spasm just before kick-off.

"He’s missed two games now and he’ll want to get back into the action," the boss told reporters at Monday's press conference.

"I think it’s important that he starts.”

The last time the Reds met the Pirates, back in the 2006 Vodacom Challenge, United ran out comfortable 4-0 winners.
