Reserves V Wigan 2nd Oct 2008
Anyone know is this on MUTV? Also will Manucho (aka Hightower) get a run out? Reserves have been great to watch so far this season. Great passing football coupled with bags of commitment, exactly what our youngsters need exposure to. Ole has made a promising start, they all seem to be playing for their manager.

Yea! I don't remember reading any quotes about when he could be back! just some saying that he requires an operation and will be out for months! Either ways he did score a cracker against some team a month ago did you manage to catch a video of that?

************************************** Manucho could make his first start of the season on Thursday evening, having been named in the Reserves' squad to face Wigan Athletic. The Angolan international has made just one fleeting substitute appearance for the Reds' senior side since joining in January, but looks likely to start against the Latics. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has seen his side deprived of the Da Silva twins, Rodrigo Possebon and Danny Drinkwater through injury, but the Norwegian and Warren Joyce have still put together a side full of attacking talent. Manucho joins Federico Macheda and Anton Bryan as the Reds' striking options, while a combination of Tom Cleverley, Sam Hewson, Darron Gibson, Cameron Stewart and Magnus Eikrem will fill the midfield berths. Ben Amos' promotion to senior duties, together with a host of goalkeeping injuries throughout the Carrington ranks, means either Gary Woods or Conor Devlin will make their Reserves debut in goal. As ever, the match will be shown live on MUTV, with coverage starting at 18:30 ahead of the 19:00 kick-off. United squad: Woods, Devlin; Gray, Eckersley, C Evans, Chester, Derbyshire, Gill; Gibson, Eikrem, Hewson, Cleverley, Stewart; Manucho, Macheda, Bryan. |

Seeing as Amos and Drinkwater aren't involved either (although the former may be being kept back for first team duty), it might be that the three lads called up by England U19s have joined up with them already? Their first game is next Wednesday, seems feasible.

Both teams have hit the woodwork already, United after a great run and strike from Hewson.
Commentator has said Welbeck and Drinkwater are off with England although the camera clearly just showed Welbeck sitting in the stands with the rest of the reserve/academy players not involved (Zieler there too). |

with england (apparently)
Manucho linking up well for the most part, good pace, strong in the air and unlucky not to score just before ht. A cross came in the gk was no where and his downward header flicked off a wigan player and it went over the bar Got 0-0 written all over it |

James Chester on with a knock at half-time, replaced by Jimmy Derbyshire. He goes left-back, Evans to right-back, Eckersley and Gray in from the two full-back positions to form an all-new centre-back partnership.
