Rio Ferdinand's USA Tour 2011 Diary #mufc

Here is some pre-season behind the scenes footage of Manchester United players.

The pre-season tour was a resounding success.  Almost everyone in the squad is playing well and United beat all-comers, including an MLS all stars team featuring David Beckham and Thierry Henry. The reds also defeated Barcelona 2-1 in a game of very high quality. The Barca team featured Iniesta, Pedro, Villa and Busquets as well as new sensation Thiago Alcantara.

The young Paul Pogba. #mufc

Manchester Uniteds French central midfielder is currently among the reserve team.  He has had a good season last year and is looking to break into the 1st team this year.   Pogba is a tall player whos' style reminds me of Patrick Viera, whom he played against in the Paul Scholes testamonial during the pre-season.  He has a terrific shot on him and carries the ball well, combining good close control and incisive passing. I hope he will get some premier league minutes from Sir Alex Ferguson this year and I think he will definately figure in the Carling Cup.
So here's a little video to show some of the exciting attributes possessed by yet another United Academy player.
