Behind close doors, not shown live on MUTV.

Few people there tweeting live updates.

United Team:
1. Amos
2. Vermijl
3. Fryers
4. Formasier
5. Thorpe
6. Brown
7. L Cole
8. Norwood
9. Diouf
10. Petrucci
11. Lingard

Subs:
Giverin, Johnstone, McGinty, Rafael Da Silva, Joshua King.
 
So, anyone with ideas why would Rafael be on the bench of a reserves game? They're short in numbers, he is short in playing minutes? Match fitness? Punishment?
 
"40 mins gone. Lingard scuffs a good chance just wide. Still 1-0 buts it's all United"

"Last few minutes of first half and Jessie Lingard has just missed 2 clear chances. Still 1 nil. Still all United."

I really wish I was there.. everytime I fly to Manchester the res are playing away or at the time of the flight. Bah.
 
HALF TIME: 1:0 United

seems nice and sunny there:

Wait, Will Keane now ahead of Diouf in the First Team pecking order?

By all accounts, most of them train with the first team on a regular basis.

With current injury problems quite a lot of young players have been getting on the bench, possibility some may be in the squad and been considered for that I suppose. Although I cant't actually see many if any been involved personally.

It depends on SAF really doesn't it, I mean Zeki played today when SAF said Jones and Smalling had knocks, he said Ando had a knock too so you can safely assume that's why Pogba's not been used today. I think training intensely with the First Team today would have been more useful than this match unless you needed minutes.
 
If anyone here attended this match or knows somebody that did and can get hold of a single sheet colour teamsheet that was produced as a programme, i'm offering good money, cheers ;)
 
Hi R Nick, yeah there were some produced, seems nobody is willing to confirm numbers but obviously with no supporters there not many will have found there way out, luckily not too many people collect them so I'm still hopeful of getting one some how!
 
No, I havent asked anybody inparticular, this is an ongoing thing to be honest, I'm always trying to obtain these single sheets and the matchday passes too, I have a guy in Manchester who gets quite a few but some are harder to find due to low print runs, as I said, fortunately I have limited opposition collector wise!

That said, if anybody can help out with these I would like to hear from you!

Colin, I dont think the club would help me to obtain one, I'm fairly sure they dont do that kind of thing with programmes and the like.
