Starting Line Up was: Anders Lindegaard, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra, Phil Jones, Michael Carrick, Anderson, Ji Sung Park, Ashley Young, Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney. 1st Half Goals: Anderson (Great build up on the edge of the box by Rooney & Berba). - (great team goal very, very nice) Then Park just before half time, cracking skill by Park just inside the box, with a left foot drive past the goal keeper. - (nice goal) 2nd Half Goals: Berba over the top ball, Berba great clip, but the ball come's back off the bar. Berba chests it and right foot volley while under pressure. (again nice team goal). 67min - D.Welbeck goal was ok nothing special, come off one of the MLS defenders as he shoot just inside the box. There were various sub's at half time & throughout the 2nd half, including Ben Amos at halftime for Anders Lindegaard - (who had a another good game for us). Subs used: Fabio Chris Smalling Tom Cleverley Nani Michael Owen Danny Welbeck Federico Macheda The Final Score was: MLS 0 - 4 M.U.F.C. *P.Jones had a very, very good game, "solid like a rock" *Beckham had a few nice shots form range, but were well saved time and time again in the first half by Lindegaard (Good saves). Right I'm off to bed, a happy man.............
Lindegaard made some good saves. Park impressive again, shows just how skilled he is. Rooney and Berbatov nice combinations for the latter's goal and for Anderson...who scored with his RIGHT foot! Lovely finish.
I actually stayed up to watch this on the ho chi minnh channel or bang doc wok or whatever and it was well worth it.Nodded off a bit but berbas goal got me paying attention again.The Barce game will be a cracker so I"ll try watchmufc again and if it aint avin any its back to ho chi minnh and a bottle of gin for that one!
Lindegaard played the 1st half and again like an earlier match on the tour was excellent. Great agility and shot stopping. Young Amos also has done little wrong in the tour. Utd look to have 3 young very good keepers on the books.
I think Young been trying to hard, i.e why some of his so-called cross have gone been a little bit over hit. But his class through and through so will come good for us, plus we need to remember he can play in a number of positions for us! Phil Jones was excellent, can see this being very, very good for us , for years to come - great singing!
In all fairness, the MLS All-Stars never play together and had two or three days training together before the match. It's a good marketing idea for their league, but in practice when you play teams like Man Utd you're going to get destroyed. However, there were a number of solid performances and some good things can be taken from United's time in America. It's a great place for friendlies as they take these friendlies very seriously.
