Robbie Brady captained Man Utd to the Milk Cup, scoring five goals along
the way and apparently was named player of the tournament.

His goal is around 3:45.

Quality link - well excited about this Kid - his goal was pearler. Even more excited about the fact that he isn't that much younger than Macheda who got his chance last season after scoring 6 in last year's tournament (which he would have equalled if he'd scored his penalty). Must be highly thought of as well if he's captaining the team - which is rare for a winger.

United's left wing is definitely up for grabs. Nani has one season to prove his worth and Tosic is yet to stake his claim. I know that Obertan can play there - but he can play in any position across midfield and is possibly more likely to play in the Scholes role. To have a goalscoring winger like that is a coveted asset the days - it'd be quality if he came through. We could do with a left winger as well.

We could have some midfield in the future with him on the left, McCarthy and McCann in the middle and Doran on the right.

The goal was defelected, no? If so it probably looked better than it was.

Well, he scored 5 over the course of the tournament, so I'm sure one of them was nice at least!

Scott Davies could be set for a break through season at reading, seems to have an eye for goal anyway:

Got excited the other night watching Liverpool when a young lad by the name of Martin Kelly came on at centre half for Carragher, thought he was Irish but turns out he's an England U-19 his name's more Irish then mine surely he must have a few Irish connections with a name like that.
He's obvioulsy taken the English route similiar to the lad he replaced(Carragher) who's family hail from Limerick, pity!

Dunne and Ireland started for Man City in their 2-1 win over Celtic, who included Darren O'Dea and Willo Flood in the starting line up. McGeady came off the bench for Celtic.
Dunne captained the side as well
