Pre-season in India?
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
@GlastonSpur will this be your first United game?
Rumours are saying pre-season in the US, then a match in India.
Yo @GlastonSpur, do you have room for a few United supporters?
Oy @GlastonSpur, can you get us discount on plane tickets? Pretty please.
It's a bad idea, just have a base camp in US, finish the preseason. World touring is a bad idea when all concentration should be on preparation.
Think he has everybody on ignore or he is mid flight.
Back now.
You could imagine him parachuting out of a plane depending if Spurs are winning.
India in the monsoon season? Nah, not for me. If I go, I go in the November to Feb. period … but not this year.
Come the United States again, and specifically Los Angeles!! We have two world class stadiums, clean air, and plenty for your English tourists to do while following United.
Right when the title hopes die.
Has there been a squad list that have/are flying out to the winter training camp yet?
I’m hoping for the very novel approach - especially in a tournament year - that we have our pre-season in Europe for once and maybe try to focus on actually building fitness and preparing for a new season.
Somebody give Woodward geography lessons or let him know what the weather is like in Kolkata in July...
I wouldn't know that due to rarely venturing out of the footy forums.
Mejbri will be with us on the tour barring injury.Will he still be with United going through pre-season come July?
Back to topic: India in July. I thought Ed was clueless about just transfers
Deleted a bunch of posts. Stick to football related discussions and head to the CE forum if you want to discuss other topics.
A one off game is a good idea for the club to connect with the millions of young fans in India. India and China are the biggest markets in Asia for us. A single game will not create that much of an issue. And if Ole is still in charge then next season will be pointless anyway.
They want to come to India in July? It's gonna be so humid players are gonna be sweating buckets.
Would love to have this game in Kolkata, my city, but the weather won't suit United.
Wondered why this hasn't happened years ago! Such a massive fan base, and yet still India remains the biggest untapped football country in the world. Given how its economy will boom in 21st century, am surprised FIFA and football clubs haven't given it more priority.
Personally Id love to see a World Cup in India in my lifetime. Hope this is the beginning of that process.

The possibility of heavy rain would be a risk. Not great preparation to have a game rained out like we had a couple (I think?) of preseasons ago.
I bet you regret telling me now, im sorry
Seems like this might not be happening as i read a small report in the papers saying East Bengal have balked at the appearance fee demanded by United. According to an official as things stand now this wont be happening and they will revisit it in May. So very little possibility of this happening.
The club have always been pioneers, we should go to the Moon, it would be an outta this World experience! Not sure about the atmosphere but .....
Hopefully it is, because I'd like to visit with family this summer and the clean air would be nice..

Why does a pre-season have to be lucrative? We should go to wherever our players can prepare best
Because we are a PLC and money is of absolute paramount importance.
I think club have commitments (with sponsors) where they have to go on preseason tour, remember reading it some 3-4 years ago.
is that you LVG?
Why you @ing me for?
It'd be absolutely mad... Think the people there would go nuts for it.
On the negative side, Phil Jones will probably shit himself on the pitch.

ohh I see... His got his eyes on Niall’s taglime
Excuse me, but did you see how well we played on that mud surface against Tranmere? We'd play like barca on that rain drenched salt lake stadium pitch.
Make sure to stop by Disneyland.Hopefully it is, because I'd like to visit with family this summer and the clean air would be nice..
