United in 3rd place after first round of games with 1 point, Real Madrid and Ulsan Hyundai won their games.
 
Madrid won Ulsan so if we win our last 2 games we go through to the knockout round.
We are playing Ulsan now.
 
United won Ulsan 4-2 and need to win the last game to go through.
Gribbin scored 1.
 
Nice work Oskar... do we have any idea on the United squad... it's always good to look out for names that have played in this in the future.

(*=misses tournement because of injuries)
 
United drew in their last game 0-0, so they end in 3rd place in group, out.
 
Does anyone who replaced Dearnley (7), Kenyon (11) and Burgoyne (12) in the squad?
Was Campbell (13) replaced as well?
 
The highlights have been playing on MUTV, United a bit unlucky in a few of the games, especially Madrid where they had 3 penalty shouts. The only game they got comprehensively beaten was the Right To Dream game. Interestingly Tommy Martin thought there were a few potential first teamers in the future.

As with all these tournaments, people look at the results but not really a fair way to judge them. United take a long term approach with players (see Lingard, Cole etc) and the results will be more obvious when they start moving up to the Academy/u21s.
