United Takes Second Tour Win
Philadelphia Union 0 - Manchester United 1
This was definitely a better workout than the Celtic game. Union is a team in mid-season and their fitness levels certainly gave us a larger challenge than the Scots. Although they hardly troubled us, they certainly made things difficult for our very youthful strike partnership of Welbeck and Macheda.
Ultimately, Obertan broke the deadlock when Union's backline made a mistake and gifted Welbeck the ball. Welbeck's thru ball found Obertan and he gleefully slotted home for the narrow victory. It really should've been more but our very young team was selfish. I suppose that's the problem with youth. The only consistent thing about their game is the level of inconsistency. With that in mind, it was still disappointing to see the kids make a mess of good possession. I'm not too sure we can rely on a large number of them when the real games begin. There is still a whole lot to learn.

i am very happy for Obertan, i think it is a very very good player (Cantona 2)!!!
He still has plenty to learn before he gets to Cantona's level. As of right now, he looks more like Ronaldo than Eric....minus the attitude. Let's hope we give him plenty of time and chances to mature into the player.
