Neville set for Reserves return

Gary Neville's injury comeback steps up a notch on Thursday evening, as the club captain makes his first appearance for seven months in the Reserves' Manchester Senior Cup tie against Stockport County.

The 32-year-old defender has been out of action since damaging ankle ligaments against Bolton in March, but he has been named in the squad for the Reds' clash at the Victoria Stadium, which will be televised on MUTV.

Thursday's tabloids speculate that, as long as Neville emerges unscathed from his return, he will be included in Sir Alex Ferguson's senior squad for the trip to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Tonight's match kicks off at 7pm, with MUTV coverage beginning at 6:45pm.

United squad: Heaton, Zieler; Neville, J Evans, Simpson, Chester, R Eckersley, Gray; Barnes, S Evans, Lee, Eagles; Brandy, Dong, Bryan, Wellbeck.

I might go along, I haven't been to a reserve game for a month or so.

Should be a good game.

Kelvin · 1st November 2007, 17:38

I hope to see Brandy playing instead of fucking Dong.

noodlehair · 1st November 2007, 20:21

Just put this on

No idea of the teams, though Eagles has just scored a stunner

noodlehair · 1st November 2007, 20:22

how's neville doing so far? Does he look he match fit?

Fuzzymel · 1st November 2007, 20:46

Cant tell yet (just turned the match on). Nothing has stood out yet but from the way the commentators were talking he may have been involved in the Stockport goal.

Fuzzymel · 1st November 2007, 20:51

half time 1-1

68-99-08 · 1st November 2007, 20:53

It was Gray's fault for their goal. Didnt pick up his man. Neville is playing centre back.

Fuzzymel · 1st November 2007, 20:58

its hard to tell who had the last touch for the goal. In no way Nevilles fault though.

Eagles free kick was fantastic.

Fuzzymel · 1st November 2007, 21:08

Sean Evens makes it 2-1

Fuzzymel · 1st November 2007, 21:19

Neville had an hour in all

charleysurf · 1st November 2007, 21:35

5-1 at the moment. Goals by Dong (from a FK) and 2 from Brandy.
Sean Evans scored the first 2 and has looked good.
Wellbeck just came on.

Edit: 6-1, Dong scores again, set up by Wellbeck.

Lizard King · 1st November 2007, 21:41

Come on Dong grab a hattrick!!!!!

Are Stockport down to 8 men or something?

ecantona7 · 1st November 2007, 21:42

how'd you guys make of his return? Is he long way from match fit? Looks like he won't be ready for Arsenal but could he possibly play against kyiv?

Nowhere near match fit IMHO.

Man Utd Mrs · 1st November 2007, 22:30

Nev's not match fit yet.

I've just taped the game for my Brother who's a County fan and he's just been up for it....I found it difficult not to feel sorry for him....he's no idea what's to come.

noodlehair · 1st November 2007, 22:42

They did alright until the part when they suddenly started conceding goals every five minutes

surely it can't be that hard to believe Dong can score against 11 men

Saw some of the highlights on SSN... he looks as bit overweight to me... never senn him carrying weight before but I guess it gets harder to shift it as you get a bit older...

Bammy · 2nd November 2007, 12:51

Yeah I noticed he had a bit of a stomach on him as well, doesn't look ready to come back to the first team for a couple of weeks or so in my opinion.

As for the rest of the match, first half it was even-ish, second half we were very good.

I think David gray was at fault for their goal, got sucked in instead of staying on his man.

Brandy looked dangerous everytime he got the ball.Very good player.Sean Evans played well too.. They were the two stand out players for me anyway. Lee, Eagles, Evans and Simpson were good as well.

Dong did nothing first half, but once he got his goal he played with a lot more confidence and looked pretty good. Will never make it at United, but certainly not as bad as some people make him out to be.

Yup.
Looked like Van Nistelrooij on Temazepam in the first half and no one wanted to bring him in the game if they could help it.
Second half he looked quite good, his passing was intelligent and he was on the pace.

PS18 · 2nd November 2007, 22:36

just out of interest - is there any reason Sam Hewson wasn't involved in this?
