Manchester United Accepts Invitation to Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXXVIII
DALLAS, Texas (Thursday, Jan. 26) – The Dr Pepper Dallas Cup, the oldest and most prestigious international youth soccer tournament in the United States, has announced that English Premier League powerhouse Manchester United will compete in the elite tournament’s 2017 Gordon Jago Super Group. Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXXVIII will mark the fourth time for the Red Devils to compete in the Gordon Jago Super Group, and the club’s eighth Dallas Cup appearance overall. They look to become the second consecutive Premier League club to claim the Gordon Jago Super Group title, and the third English club in the last five years to win the esteemed bracket.
Manchester United looks to improve upon the last time they competed in the elite bracket back in 2013, a team that featured current Belgian international Adnan Januzaj. In 2012, the club reached the championship match, but lost to Brazil’s Coritiba, who will also be competing this April. The 2012 squad featured current Manchester United first team player, Jesse Lingard.
In a recent ranking of Premier League academies by Britain’s Daily Mirror, Manchester United sits firmly on top. The club ranks first in Premier League minutes played by academy players. They also rank first in total players currently playing in the Premier League who were produced by the academy. The Manchester United academy has produced 29 players who currently play in the Premier League, which not only tops England’s top flight, but also makes United’s academy one of the most successful in world soccer.
Manchester United joins a strong Gordon Jago Super Group, which amongst others, includes 2016’s champions Everton, Brazilian powers Coritiba and Fluminense, prominent Israeli club Maccabi Haifa, and 2016 US Soccer Development Academy champions FC Dallas. Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXXVIII will be held from April 9 through April 16, 2017.

MANCHESTER UNITED ENTER 2017 DALLAS CUP
Manchester United have confirmed entry in this year's Dallas Cup, the oldest and most prestigious international youth tournament in the United States.
The Reds took a team to the tournament in 2012 and 2013, during Warren Joyce's tenure as Reserves coach, and have participated some eight times in total over the years.
Interim boss Nicky Butt is set to oversee the trip between 9 and 16 April with his side competing in the Gordon Jago Super Group, alongside the likes of 2016 champions Everton, Coritiba, Fluminense, Maccabi Haifa and FC Dallas.
United reached the final in 2012, with Michael Keane, now at Burnley, scoring the goal in a bad-tempered 2-1 defeat to Coritiba, which saw the team reduced to nine men. A year later, Adnan Januzaj and James Wilson were part of a younger squad which travelled to Texas.
"It's a big test going over there and playing South American teams," Butt told ManUtd.com. "It'll be an Under-19 team and they're travelling out of their environment, going to a new place. Some people have never been to Dallas before so it's an exciting time.
"It's a tournament I feel, and a lot of people at this club feel, is an important part of their development. It's very rare we play against South Americans in the Academy over in this country. So it's massive for us and good we've agreed to go now."

We've actually played against these guys before at the Otten Cup, we drew 1-1 that time.
Hmm, I had the time all messed up it seems.
FT Chivas 4-1 Man Utd [Torres '11,' 17, Zendejas '46, Macias '52 - Kenyon '55]
United apparently looked tired (jetlag), crowd of 19'417, good experience for the lads.
The next match against Real Salt Lake tonight at 22:00 BST (but don't trust me on those times anymore)

Kenyon's runs are really something else.
Not sure what exactly was the cause for the performance, but our boys were far from even being close to the better side. Given the travel, warmer temperatures and facing a Mexican side with a style not regularly seen in Europe, it wasn't exactly a shocker that we struggled. I haven't see this side play much, but last night Gribbin looked to be the only one that could really create anything.
It was a tough day for the PL academy sides as Everton lost 5-0 to the local FC Dallas side.
On a positive note - the game was played in front of 15,000 spectators (very pro Chivas) and it was nice to see the US based United supporters groups out to cheer the youngsters.

Wonder if anyone from that Chivas side that beat us in the final 5 years ago is playing at a high level now.
Not seeing a Chivas side that won then, but we did lose in 2012 to Corritba. Can't find the squad, but the goalscorers on Wikipedia either don't have a page, or play for teams I've never heard of.
Ah yeh might of been them then. I can't personally remember much about them but interesting to know none the less so thanks mate.
United beat Real Salt Lake 3-1 in the second match. Next match against Coritiba (Bra) on Wed-Thu night at 01:30 BST.
