First friendy in preseason, finally a chance to see some of our Youth Cup winners... and maybe some of first team players, who knows?
Reserves Vs Curzon Ashton (Away)
- Thread starter Stojan Stamenic
- Start date
When is it being played? Today?
It's 7:30 kick off. Last year also played against them, we won 4:0 in preseason.
The only possible first teamer would be Fletch.
The actual ground is in Ashton Under Lyne so pretty easy to get to (near the Ikea).

Dont see any highlights listed on MUTV.
There probably won't be for the friendlies. There may be a goal round-up on one of the shows.
I'll provide updates on here if I get down for it.
Nice one Datura, the withdrawal symptoms are kickin in!
pig.
You'd think if he was left out of the US squad a move is on the cards and they wouldn't jeopardise that by risking injury for the reserves. I could be wrong though.
Leao signed a deal then? or still on loan?
James and Gill missing, going on loan, injured?
Still on loan, according to the official website.
Manchester United Official Web Site - Manchester United Reserves squad for Curzon Ashton
There was a rumour that James picked up an injury or he would have travelled to the US.
Thanks.
Our team: Coll. Massaccil. Giverin. Fornasier. McGinty. Norwood. Vermijl. Drinkwater. Leao. Lingard. Brady.
We should probably expect much better squad for the 2nd half.

The 2 centrehalves Leao is up against are twice as wide and about a foot or so taller. Poor bugger.
Bollocks. Missed this last year as well after only finding out about it after it had kicked off. Hopefully someone will send me some photos like they did then.
1-0 Leao somehow gets it in after kinda falling over from a Brady pull back after a ball over the full back from Norwood.
Brady slightly overhits a through ball to Drinkwater who would have been in 1-on-1.
Brady then narrowly overhits a chipped ball to Vermijl.

Curzon go close, narrowly shooting over the bar from a good left wing cross.
Was eating and missed the start, link please?
Brady and Leao have swapped positions.
Drinkwater v neat and tidy.

Not on MUTV.
Reasonably uneventful at the moment, Curzon holding their own.
2-0 drinkwater calmly slips it past the keeper one on one.
For some reason I was certain it was! Thanks for the heads up, I now have indigestion from rushing my food!
Brady tests the keeper after a nice run.
2-1 Coll fumbles and Curzon tap in.

Cheers for the updates Datura. Weird sounding attack, is Brady playing centrally or out wide?
Leao curls one just over the bar after a great run by Lingard.
It´s Jacob in goal, not Coll.
He has switched from left to striker to right. Vermijl up front now.
Ah, ok. He seems v error prone in his appearances so far. I remember reading a Liverpool forum after we signed him and they were suprised at the move.
Ht 2-1
Brady and drinkwater the best players for united. Leao looks out of his depth (and out of position).

Thorpe heads just over from a Cole cross.
Should be an entertaining half with this side.

Petrucci forces a save from outside the area.
