From manutd.com The Tour 2011 squad is provisional, subject to change in the event of training injuries: Goalkeepers: Anders Lindegaard, Ben Amos, Sam Johnstone Defenders: Rafael, Fabio, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, Patrice Evra, Rio Ferdinand Midfielders: Michael Carrick, Nani, Anderson, Ryan Giggs, Ji-sung Park, Gabriel Obertan Forwards: Mame Biram Diouf, Federico Macheda, Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, Dimitar Berbatov, Ashley Young. The following players will join the tour after their agreed leave time: Chris Smalling, Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley, David de Gea, Phil Jones, Javier Hernandez. As what was expected although I'm a little surprised that there isn't any youngsters from our reserves or youth teams going. All in all, apart from Sam Johnstone, Diouf and Macheda (latter two on loan), I think that will be our 23 man squad for next season. It wouldn't surprise me if we don't buy anyone else and it wouldn't overly disappoint me also, a view not shared by everyone I admit. What's more interesting is the combination of players and teams that SAF will use. Chance to experiment with different formations to get the most out of Young, Nani and Valencia at the same time or go with the time and tested 4-4-1-1? And I've just remembered that Valencia is injured and not in the squad. Ouch.
Would not be too upset if Berbatov went so long as another quality striker was signed. Who do you suggest?
Almost a given that he is gone. What is the situation with his move to Sunderland? My mate told me that his wage demands might be too high, don't know where he got that info from though...
