Both sides were weakened. Barca have a better starting XI, United have better strength in depth. We played very well, Nani was outstanding, and we have had a really good pre-season, the "fringe" players have all impressed and looked really sharp

Got Liverpool in top 4 in predictions. Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool. Have a feeling they'll be back with a massive bang

Very successful tour for Man Utd. Good results, getting good fitness and improving their presence in America even more and making some good money too.
