Will be good to see Januzaj back, hopefully no one gets injured with the Chelsea game merely a few days later
 
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.
 
Januzaj is back?
Brilliant news. Will give us a good chance to defeat Chelsea in the second leg.
 
should note that the squad listed does contain injuries (eg- Ben Barber), so please take it with a pinch of salt.
 
Sean Goss(Exeter City) and Dean Henderson(Another Goalkeeper) also seem to be travelling with the squad to Amsterdam.
 
Aaron Tshibola (midfielder) and Jake Cooper (defender) both of Reading are in the squad for this.
 
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.

Just to verify - Ajax is Ajax from South Africa isn't it ?
 
Nice. I'll catch the 2nd half of this I'd say. Always enjoy watching Daehli on the ball.
 
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
 
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
 
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.
 
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!
 
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?
