Manchester United Asia Tour 2009 has come to an end. The last match of the tour was played in China, where United trased local side, Greentown by eight goals to two. It was an enjoyable match to watched as United stars turned on a great show especially Berba whose skills and dancing has mesmarize the spectetators and million watching at home.
Owen has also showed a great performance last night. He scored two goals and one of which were a beauty. Berbatov set him up stylishly and he controlled the ball on his chest before scoring with a half-volley from the edge of the penalty box. Great goal and what an exciting player to watch. Will it be a re-born Owen next season?Only time will tell.
The living legend, Ryan Giggs scored a hat-trick on the second half. The first two was a goal at the highest order meanwhile the third was quite a formality. The 35 year old man from Wales has proved that he still got it and he is not done yet at least for another season.
The only concern was Ben Foster. He conceded two goals and he did not looked too convincing along the tour. He made a blunder againts Malaysia XI on the first match and came on as substitute last night and conceded two. The second goal conceded after his past was carelessly taking care by a tired Fabio, but I just think he still got some work to do considering that Van Der Sar will retire on the season after the next one. So, he better becareful because Tomasz has set his aim of playing more regular first team match.
So, the tour has been done. The good think was that fans got to see their favorite players while United could added their fund on their account. In terms of football side, their appereances in the far east could help raise the level of football in this part of the world. The class, well let say that to be fair, only Seoul FC gave them something to think about apart from the first shaky match in KL. Other than that I think United showed professionalism and lifting up to their reputation.
They cancelled their trip to Jakarta and what a dissapointment it was for the fans. Jakarta has a huge United fan base but a five seconds bomb has taken away the dream of millions from many months back.
Now, United are heading to Munich for the Audi cup where they will face Boca Juniors. Great prospec and it will be a great test for United. Boca might not be as strong as they used to be, but south american team always proved to be a test for a european team when they meet. So, we will be looking forward to that.
Thank you for a great weeks in Asia and please come again including to Jakarta. Glory Man.United.
