Our beloved club takes to the pitch again tonight for the second game of their pre-season tour in South Africa-this time against Orlando Pirates. The game at the Absa Stadium is an evening kick-off and should give the European Champions another physical test. Now much as pre-season games have nothing to do with results, I would personally want us to register a victory before we play the final game of the tournament on Saturday. Ryan Giggs has come out to say that he would prefer if United got into the habit of winning their pre-season fixtures so as to start the new season in third-gear. That is what the Manchester United spirit is(Win every game!). Rio Ferdinand who last kicked a ball for United in Moscow, is back in training after a minor injury and should therefore boost our defence. Another run-out for Gary Neville should be on the cards. Now unfortunately Wes Brown has got to return home following the death of his pregnant half-sister. My sincere condolences go to him and his family.
