Will be good to see Januzaj back, hopefully no one gets injured with the Chelsea game merely a few days later

jb8521 · Apr 5, 2012

Aguilar, Lucas Evangalista, Bruno Gomes and Ademir who have all been over to United training are all in the Desportivo Brasil squad aswell as far as I know.

KM · Apr 5, 2012

Januzaj is back?
Brilliant news. Will give us a good chance to defeat Chelsea in the second leg.

Relevated · Apr 5, 2012

Nice original name.

mo0 · Apr 6, 2012

should note that the squad listed does contain injuries (eg- Ben Barber), so please take it with a pinch of salt.

KM · Apr 6, 2012

Sean Goss(Exeter City) and Dean Henderson(Another Goalkeeper) also seem to be travelling with the squad to Amsterdam.

KM · Apr 7, 2012

Aaron Tshibola (midfielder) and Jake Cooper (defender) both of Reading are in the squad for this.

lysglimt · Apr 7, 2012

Henderson is very young - I remember him being mentioned as a 14 year old when we signed him last summer (From Carlisle ? ) - so he still can't be more than 15

I checked a bit on the net - and all 3 on players on trial have scored quite a few goals this year. Tshibola is a big, physical player - (1.85 or 1.86) - just turned 17. Jake Cooper has scoret quite a few goals on set-pieces.

Sean Goss have also scored quite a few from his midfield position - and is described as good with the ball.

I think the match between Ajax and United will be shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XvpbMfRmofE

This is not an illegal stream, but the live channel of Ajax. They are currently showing Barca vs Bayern Munich for those interested.

Eirik Raude · Apr 7, 2012

Goalscorers for United in the first match was trialist Jake Cooper who scored with his head from a corner, and the famous own goal.

Looks like my scouting on Jake Cooper seemed accurate

Just to verify - Ajax is Ajax from South Africa isn't it ?

Sonny1972 · Apr 7, 2012

Ajax Amsterdam and Ajax Cape Town .

Sean_RedDevil · Apr 7, 2012

Still 0-0 between Barca vs Bayern Munich

It's a bit boring so far :boring:

Edit: FT 0-0

Mr Anderson · Apr 7, 2012

Nice. I'll catch the 2nd half of this I'd say. Always enjoy watching Daehli on the ball.

This is on now for anyone interested

lysglimt · Apr 7, 2012

Ioannou looks absolutely brilliant at left back

Eirik Raude · Apr 7, 2012

Great save from O'Hara there.

Sean_RedDevil · Apr 7, 2012

Some great saves from O'Hara in the 1st half.

Daehli

Eirik Raude · Apr 7, 2012

Dæhli should have scored there, good chance but not enough power.

lysglimt · Apr 7, 2012

Ioannou, O'Hara and Dæhlie have looked really good all 3. I like O'Hara as a gk - hopefully he can grow a few inches

Eirik Raude · Apr 7, 2012

Ajax takes the lead, a bit undeserved to be honest.

Sean_RedDevil · Apr 7, 2012

1-0 Ajax

Poor defending from us

Sean_RedDevil · Apr 7, 2012

We're having some really great chances but our finish isn't good enough.

lysglimt · Apr 7, 2012

We have to try to sign Jake Cooper. 6 ft 4-5 - strong runs, good tackles and good with the ball. He looks a real prospect

100% yes.

He looks very good in the defence and quite good in the attack too.

Eirik Raude · Apr 7, 2012

United very unfortunate not to have scored yet.

Sean_RedDevil · Apr 7, 2012

Desportivo Brasil 2-0 Besiktas after 50 minutes.

Eirik Raude · Apr 7, 2012

The Ajax youngsters are spending more time on the floor than Sergio Busquets. Frustrating.

Sean_RedDevil · Apr 7, 2012

FT: Ajax 1-0 Manchester United

The win for Ajax wasn't really deserved.

We've played overall some good football and our defence was good too (Espcially O'Hara and Copper), unfortunately one poor moment in the defence has cost us the game and our finish in front of the Ajax goal wasn't good enough too.

Ioannou too, he looks to have everything you'd want for a defender apart from height

interesting to note how few of the Marveld 2011 side have made the step up...

NM · Apr 8, 2012

I saw the first half of the game. There is no way we deserved to be a goal down, but got hit by a sucker punch. That being said, a learning experience for the boys - dominating a game means nothing unless they score!

Good point - but if you look at the link to that game against Ipswich mentioned in the thread, there are quite a few more (Callum Evans, Ioannou, Fletcher, Harrop and Wilson - + Barber who is injured I understand)

Mr. MUJAC · Apr 8, 2012

Cooper, Tshibola and Goss are 'guest' players and not on trial.

They are under contracts at other clubs.

We did the same with Luke Coddington, the keeper from Middlesbrough, in Brazil last December.

No matter what you call it - Cooper is a player we should try to sign - the other 2 have looked fairly average so far

Are they playing Besiktas now?
