QuoteIf Longford have a full team out, I'd fancy them for the win
It was always billed as United Reserves, it's an even weaker Reserve squad than normal with a lot of the older lads away on tour with the first team due to players not being back from the Euros. Smalling was supposed to be coming over until he broke his foot the other day apparently. King and Cole have appeared in the first team. There's a few young lads that are worth keeping an eye on for anyone going to the games, Jack Barmby (son of Nick), Adnan Januzaj a Belgian midfielder, Mats Daehli a Norwegian midfielder and Larnell Cole as mentioned above is highly rated at United. There's a couple of Brazilian trialists too.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

United XI prepare for Town
Warren Joyce has taken a United XI squad to face Longford Town in a friendly on Monday night.
The hosts include ex-Red Keith Gillespie in their team and it will be the first run-out for a number of players hoping to impress at Reserves level next season.
The squad, which has yet to be officially confirmed, travelled over to Ireland this morning and there could be places for some of the Academy youngsters not involved at the Milk Cup.
Luke Hendrie, Gyliano van Velzen, Tom Lawrence and Charni Ekangamene are also expected to feature after moving up from the youth team but Luke McCullough is on international duty with Republic of Ireland's youngsters.
ManUtd.com will have a report online after the final whistle with the team staying in Ireland to play Cork City on Wednesday evening.

Please God let Longford trounce this lot.
We can't take any of our chances at the moment so wouldn't bet on us trouncing anybody. Some good young players in the United squad as you'd expect, they're generally pretty lightweight though.

Was it King/Cole that appeared in the United first team? Or was it nat King/Cole?Originally Posted by Longfordian

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
That's weak, even for you. You're capable of much more.

Looks like Stu will have to face the music for that joke. And dance.

Finished 1-0 to Man Utd.

Very enjoyable game. As I flagged above, we aren't finishing any chances we create. Two or three cracking players in that United side tonight too. Most importantly a good crowd too. Up on 2,500 I'd say. If the weather was better we might have got a few more out.

I trust thats enough to make a decent profit? No idea how much they charge for their reserve team.
Thats the only thing that matters with these games.

The Galway XI Squad has been named for the game against Port Vale in Terryland on Saturday night

Yeah, I think the cost of bringing them over was €8k so we should make a few quid out of it.
