Wrapping up preseason tour
United reserves' 1st preseason tour to Yeovil Town(Senior team) away july 24.
Reports
Nottingham Forest interested in Corry Evans for a season long loan. Leicester/Coventry City also interested.
Very good move for him. Hopefully it'll turn out like Jonny's loan and he can get into the side. It'll be harder for Corry though.
Conor Devlin(GK) & Ollie Norwood played full 90 minutes yesterday for R.Ireland U19 against Russia U19. 1st match of Euro U19 Elite round.
Match ended with 2-2 draw with Norwood's late brace within 8 mins.
heard news that Welbeck will join Blackpool on loan for the season and Cleverley might go to Newcastle on loan depending on how Hargreaves does in Pre-season...
Yeah heard the same too, we've got threads on both stories I think, definitely got one on Clevs.
Heard Welbeck's got the choice between PReston and Blackpool. Do you think he should have a full season in championship and definitely get games and goals? or do you think he should risk a season in the prem where he might not impress and maybe not get as much games? I think he will impress in the Prem but you don't know how Blackpool are going to do. Blackpool aren't going to create as much chances as Preston will. But it will provide good prem experience. At Preston there's also the advantages of Fergie jnr being there and able to talk closely with Fergie Snr about Welbeck.
Any news on whether Matt James is going on loan to Preston again next season. They would have got relegated without him from what i've heard.
Welbeck and James were almost cert to join PNE on loan but then they went into administration i think, so no idea whats happening there...i think Nottingham Forest were also enquiring about James...Welbeck imo would do well with a full playing season in the championship, i fear at Blackpool there could be a repeat of Rossi's loan at Newcastle few years back
...unless SAF can get him guaranteed football at Blackpool i dont think its worth it really...
not sure about Welbeck but if PNE come for James he's almost sure to go there...i'm not sure if nottingham were looking at James or Corry Evans tho...and James was excellent at PNE, Ran their midfield...similar to Clev at Watford, kept them up...
Seeing as Preston have gone into administration, loans might be their only hope for new players, we'd probably pay most of their wages though. That's the only hope they've got really. That's where Preston might have an advantage by having Fergie jnr in there, few favours from SAF.
true, might see De Laet join them too, they seemed weak in defence last season and with st. ledger is going under the knife in the summer, i think they could use him, but i think he's good enough for a prem team...other players who might go out on loan could be Corry Evans, Drinkwater, Oliver Gill, Robet Brady ( Looks really good!!) and Eikrem....
He's been injured I think for a while. Apparently Fergie phoned Ince and recommended Brandy to Ince. Very interesting that.
Promising news.
Any chance of getting our lineup for the game?
No one knows anything about it, no one was there, i'm surprised Brighton were allowed to write about this to be honest. These games go on a lot and this is the first time anything has been written about such a game.
a behind closed doors friendly? If it is that, then its surprising that Brighton have written about it.
Birmingham City reserves draw with Manchester United - Birmingham City FC - Midlands Sports - Sport - Birmingham Post
Birmingham City's reserves earned a creditable draw in a private friendly against Manchester United reserves yesterday.
Blues had two good chances during the 0-0 stalemate at United's Carrington training ground.
Akwasi Asante was thwarted by a good save from Anders Lindegaard and, in the second-half, Luke Hubbins was denied in a one-on-one against Tomasz Kuszczak, who kept goal for United after the break.
Richard Beale's side maintined a good shape and, despite United enjoying a lot of possession, made life difficult for their hosts.
Blues team included Cian Hughton, son of manager Chris Hughton, who has been training at Wast Hills and is searching for a new club after his contract at Lincoln City was not renewed following their League Two relegation last season.
Looks like Kuszczak is back from injury and getting games, i guess Gibson must have played too
Reserves played a friendly vs Altrincham today. Drew 2-2. Ravel came on for the 2nd half and was brilliant apparently, getting the equaliser. Pogba could have won it.
Team: Kuszczak, Massacci, Giverin, McGinty, Thorpe, Cofie, Cole, Brown, Keane, Petrucci, Lingard.
Subs: Pogba, Jacob, Fornasier, M. Keane, Leao, Vermijl, Morrison.
Should we be looking deeper into the fact that Pogba was on the bench (squad for CL?) ?? or was he being rested after the Birmingham reserves game?
Maybe but I think considering it's a must win game for us we will probably have an experienced starting 11 and bench for the Otelul game.
"Ezekiel Fryers (51) and Larnell Cole (52) have been handed shirt numbers for the Champions League as 'B list' players" from the Today at OT on the club site. Looks like they'll be in the matchday squad against Galati.
Reserves beat Bolton 2-1 last night. Will Keane with both the goals.
