Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Excellent! Fully deserved, been a great player for us.
You mean Moyes
Lets hope they add on Vidic, Evra and Ronaldo to that group
One last chance to see:
VdsObviously no tevez, but I can see Berba coming. Or Van Persie even. Or just someone from the current side playing up top.
Neville Rio Vidic evra
Ronaldo Carrick Scholes Giggs
Rooney ???
I don't think Ronaldo would come but probably Fletcher, Anderson and Park will.

He's too boring for even a testimonial.
Nev is already confirmed. Could see Brown playing at centre back though.
Was about to make a Saha ruled out through injury joke. FFS @GBBQ

Saha is a possibility.
Only problem is that a 2008 United HAS to have Ronaldo. He was the star by a mile. And it's unlikely he'll play
Also what if Rooney has left by then? And will be see Tevez back in a United shirt? Doubtful

Will be funny to see again. But needs Tevez and Ronaldo. Which won't happen.
Why ruin the occasion by inviting Slippy?
You always need at least one player to boo at every testimonial.

Berba was 09.
Maybe Saha? Loved him when he was here and he was still popping up on occasion back in 08
How will be the tickets sold?
Need some Wes Brown, John O'Shea, Darren Fletcher and Park Ji-Sung involvement
Anderson too, but he won't play. He'll just eat cake

A bit surprised Stormzy didn't do the announcement on his social media first.
I had honestly completely forgotten that Saha was still with us in 07/08. Not a single memory of him.
Tickets booked!
Should've done another treble that year...the FA Cup was there for the taking and we fecked it against Portsmouth...
Shouldn't we have had a penalty in that game?
How we didn't score in that game still frustrates me...
Having Rio in net didn't help...
Well deserved! Been an amazing player for us..
I hate you!
It's Carrick, you knowwwwwwwwww
Absolutely deserved and I'll be on the lookout for tickets. One of my absolute favourite players.

Fergie?!?
Old Trafford stadium announcer 'Old Trafford it's the return you've been waiting for, one last time as player manager of Manchester United.....Ryan Giggs!!!
Fergie in charge of the 08 team and Mourinho in charge of the All-Stars would be great.
Must be SAF based on the reaction alone when he says he knows who it is.
and their penalty was dodgy as feck. his knee hit PIG in the head ffs
Macheda and Manucho back at Old Trafford
When you look at our squads back then it'll be good to see a lot of the names back at Old Trafford, hopefully the likes of Evra, Nani, Vidic confirm too.

As excited as I am for this, is Ronaldo making a 15 minute cameo a pipe dream?
My all-time favorite Testimonial was Giggsy's in 2001 vs. Celtic...maybe we can get another Cantona appearance for this match?!?
*Carrick has been a great player for the club and fully deserves this! I could see Carrick becoming an Ambassador for the club at some point in the future.

Tickets booked Annoyed that my office PC didn't let me make reservations and by the time I got home the ones I wanted were already gone... but oh well
Annoyed that my office PC didn't let me make reservations and by the time I got home the ones I wanted were already gone... but oh well Can't help but smile to this. Fully deserved for a United great and an all-round nice guy. One of my favourite players of all time so I'd love to get to this if I can. The last testimonial I went to was Keane's which was fun.
Eurgh, thanks for reminding me. Rio's testimonial against Sevilla was especially disappointing.
Truly deserved.
Very good player for is and for a prolonged period our almost 1 man midfield.
