Burscough vs Manchester United (Reserves)

Virtuoso · 11th July 2008, 14:33

First pre-season friendly tomorrow for the first team and the reserves...

"NEW Manchester United reserve team boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brings his side to Burscough tomorrow as the Blue Square North club begin their pre-season build-up in style."

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport...0252-21325241/

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first ever match in charge as manager of the Reserve team. Should be interesting to see what side he fields and whether Davide Petrucci, Fabio or Rafael are involved.

Also...

Young trio sign on

Danny Welbeck heads a list of three United youngsters who have signed professional forms with the club ahead of the new season.

The highly-rated young striker has put pen to paper to sign on with the Reds, as have Daniel Drinkwater and Antonio Bryan.

The deals reflect the clear improvement in each of the trio during the 2007/08 season, in which each performed well for the club's Reserves and U18s sides

http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pa...newsid=6613669

Good news that too, all three have a lot of potential - ofcourse, especially Danny Welbeck.

PS18 · 11th July 2008, 16:26

Will be interesting to see who plays in goal tomorrow, seeing as Zieler's off with Germany at the Euro U19's, Amos and Woods are with the first-team in Aberdeen and Heaton's on loan of course. Unless Ben Foster is being kept behind to play at Burscough for some strange reason (seems very unlikely) then I guess it'll probably be Conor Devlin?

Looking forward to it anyway, going to travel over there and watch the game I think.

Elliott · 11th July 2008, 16:49

A bit surprised Bryan got a pro contract, the Dannys are very exciting.

PS18 · 11th July 2008, 22:17

Would have expected Evans, Galbraith, Eikrem and Amos to get pro deals as well. Unless they already have.

Eikrem got an one year deal, it has been reported earlier.

TheReligion · 12th July 2008, 17:53

United won 3-1

Didnt see who go the first but Brandy scored a great goal just before half time and Possebon scored a belter from about 20 yards in the 2nd half.

Didnt see anything of the Brazillians or Petrucci

Mr. MUJAC · 12th July 2008, 18:10

Ecks went off injured and David Gray moved to left back with Reece filling in at right back.

The Brazilians were sitting on the bench in training kit but were not involved at all.

No sign of Petrucci.

Elliott · 12th July 2008, 18:19

1. Who's Johnston?
2. Some of these lads will be going to SA, right? Surely the likes of Brandy and Rodrigo are going?

Rahul · 12th July 2008, 18:21

Ole's record as manager

1 Game

1 Win

100% record

Sam Johnston is our u-16 keeper!

PS18 · 12th July 2008, 19:09

Johnstone was wearing #13 fwiw (just checked my photos).

Rodrigo's goal was a beauty, shame he got caught in possession and gifted them the consolation as Ole and Warren Joyce were very keen on getting a clean sheet. Good performance all in all though against quite a strong, physical side.

He was on the teamsheet as 17 and announced over the tannoy the same....I didn't notice his shirt during his brief appearance though!

Would be interested in seeing your photos.

If Devlin and Johnston were the goalkeepers today, why have manutd.com then Zieler as goalkeeper

TheReligion · 12th July 2008, 19:52

It wasnt Zieler, hes with the German Squad aint he

Just going to have my tea and then I'll get them uploaded. I was stood right by the dugouts so had a good view of the shirt numbers!

Red442 · 12th July 2008, 20:14

Welbeck's injured isn't he? Anyone know how long he's out for?

Coca Cola · 12th July 2008, 20:25

Is Reece Brown any good?

Good job lad

http://s350.photobucket.com/albums/q...20708_1454.jpg

The blue shirt, is that just a training kit?

http://s350.photobucket.com/albums/q...20708_1522.jpg

Is the little fella, Eikrem? If yes, then he´s very small.

http://s350.photobucket.com/albums/q...20708_1602.jpg

Shit weather, both twins off to Madrid with Ronaldo

PS18 · 13th July 2008, 01:16

The blue shirt is new training kit, yeah. They all had it on, most wore the red tops over them though because it was pretty nippy with the wind gusting. The little fella's Jimmy Derbyshire. He's pretty short, although it has to be said he's next to Reece Brown there, and Reece seemed almost as tall as me today (and i'm 6' 4"), so it might be an unfair comparison

Virtuoso · 13th July 2008, 01:26

Thanks for the info guys, and cheers for the photos PS18.

I've checked the listings on MUTV for the next couple of days and no sight of them showing highlights to this match for some reason.

PS18 · 13th July 2008, 01:59

Didn't see any cameras there filming I must admit. Shame really, Rodrigo's goal really was a beauty, would love to see it again. Similar to Tevez's against West Ham last season, only slightly more central - dipped over the keeper beautifully.

I was on the other side of the pitch opposite you and was chatting to the MUTV guy who was taping the game so I expect to see something come out....

Great photos by the way.....I forgot to take my camera but you got a couple of the Brazilians......which one was it?

Think it's going to take a fair while before I have any idea which is which

I was stood next to a Brazilian girl who I think was a relation of Rodrigo, should have tried to get her to ask the twins to identify themselves.

That's not what I'd be trying to do were I next to a Brazilian girl!
