[MUFC]

Cheers, should be a nice game to get the players back into shape.

the game starts in a few hours
Any latest news on starting line ups and such??

I hope ruud will play as it will let the united fans show their appreciation for one of the finest strikers to ever play for us.

I'm not quite sure about United's line up at the moment.

[KingSingh]

Latest news from manutd.com, the 17 man squad involved in tonights game is

United squad: Foster, Steele, Bardsley, J Evans, Brown, Evra, Miller, D Jones, Martin, Rossi, Richardson, Scholes, Fletcher, Eagles, Gibson, Simpson, McShane.

no big names that recently returned from the world cup.

Probable starting eleven:

Foster
Bardsley Brown Evans Evra
Richardson Fletcher Jones Eagles
Scholes Rossi

Half time: United 1-0 Celtic Evans with an early goal

[Red Devil]

Great game. Just finished at 3-0 with goals from Evans, Scholes 2 and could have been more. The team was the kids, with Brown, Fletcher, Scholes & Evra. Foster had an excellent game. On his 4 tour games he has not conceded a goal in open play.

[KingSingh]

foster had a great game as did scholes. If scholes plays like this all season then we've got 15 goals in the bag. Great display by the kids as well, in particular evans and martin. Evra was slightly dissapointing

[Red Devil]

To be fair I do not think Evra had all that much to do, he was not under any pressure all game.

[KingSingh]

well he had a couple sloppy passes and didn't contribute anything offensively compared to bardsley on the right. I guess since he was one of the "senior" players i expected more of him. On this form i'd put him behind sylvestre as cover for heinze. Another player that had a good game was fletcher i think.

Even more reason why he shouldn't be unimpressive to be honest... I thought he was sloppy, showed a lack of ball control and not a great deal of positional sense. The more I see this fella the more I think he's been a bit of a waste of cash.
