Just came back from a great game, which was won convincingly by United but it was marred by the injury to Rio, who twisted his ankle when landing badly on the ground. He will definatly miss wednsday's CL qualifier and even maybe the start of the premiership, which is bad news. John O's Shea did come on in his place and did very well, this will certainly (once again) test the strength of our defence.
The game itself showed great sharpness by United, with the likes of Seba Veron, Keano Van Nistlerooy (2 goals) etc looking amazing at times and some of the passing was slick. A special mention for Seba because he has been excellent in pre season and is looking special once again. The game was a 'friendly' with Roger Moore (ex 007) presenting Sir Alex with an award before the game for being a great ambassador for the UNICEF charity.
There were some bad tackles in the game, with Nicky Butt & Paul Scholes on the receiving end, Carlos Tevez was sent off for elbowing Scholesy in the face, it seemed like a lot of frustration was being shown by the Argentines (or maybe they were just acting natural?) :-)
Some of Utd's youth are beginning to ask questions and the likes of Pugh, Richardson, Djordic, O'Shea etc have matured very quickly and look like stars of the future.
Everything is set up for a good season, but we must qualify for the CL first.
Come on United!

Hell ye.
Went to the game as well. I only just got back half an hour ago! Where were you sitting? I was in the North Stand first tier just left of the centre in row 22.
I blame Scholes for all the heat that came around! He was flying around with some mad tackles! Heh
That Richardson looks pretty good and confident to run with the ball. Most def a promising star.
Veron did indeed looked like a genuis on the ball, and RUUD! RUUD! RUUD! looks sharp in front of goal :)
Twas a bit worrying when they bought the stretcher on for Rio but hopefully he will be okay soon...
