As we haven't got a pre-season thread, I'll say about tonight here, went to United vs Juventus which was preceded by one of the most farcical trophy parades I've seen. It basically consisted of half the team that played in Moscow and most that didn't, posing for one photograph with the trophies. There should have been an open top bus parade the day afterwards, however Rangers and Manchester City Council put pay to that one.
Here are a couple of photos:
On to the match, again awful game, poor football. Lit up by firstly Tevez, who has managed to somehow improve from last season and then Rafael Da Silva, who as a right back is absolute quality. However, what disturbed me most was Old Trafford tonight, horrible atmosphere, only songs were "Championies", "Stand up for the champions" and "United, United...". Then there were airhorns
, and I mean loads of them, they help the atmosphere like a shot in the head. And to top it all off, there was a mexican wave that everyone seemed to find so fun.
I know it was a friendly, and so there were going to be a lot of JCL's etc there, but it was cringe worthy.
