Dunfermline AFC v Manchester United XI

Nice trickery by Rooney, he's looked great tonight, if only he'd start putting them away.
 
Giggs going off, nice run out for him, nice to see him bag another and make some nice runs like the Giggs of old.
 
Eikrem? feck sake, it's too early. He'll feet off the ground
 
Good game, good performance pretty much all round, seeing Scholes back is the main plus, MOM for me. Seeing Hargreaves was another plus, great performance by him. Rooney, Eagles and Giggs all playing great, nice game.
 
Eikrem...a player that becomes good in FM if you start using him at age 19~20
 
Does the fact that Eikrem played suggest that Fergie is thinking of using him in the first team this season?

"It was good for some of the players to get some minutes under their belt and they all came through it fine," said United coach Mike Phelan.

"Paul came off the tour early which gave him an extra week or so.

"He has worked really hard, his injury is fine, he's came through the training and he is in contention for the weekend."


Two games in one night shows strength in depth.

He added: "It turned out the way we wanted it and it was a good evening for everybody.

"The manager likes to get these games in before the season starts and it has worked out pretty well.

"We had another game against Glentoran, so that shows that we have got a big squad this season.

"We can safely say it is going to be a long hard season, but we've got the good players to cope with that."
 
How good did he look in the game?

he looked very good during the game-sharp as a tack
and he was belting some cracking shots into the goal at half time he must have a really wicked shot
at first I thought he was a ball boy until he started spreading passes about to the other lads warming up at half time
defo one for the future, cant see him getting games this season but you never know
