Shenzhen FC vs Manchester United - Far East Tour 3rd Match Preview

Today, Manchester United will face Shenzhen FC in Macau for their 3rd match in the pre-season tour to Asia.

According to Sir Ferguson, Nani is on course to make his United debut against Shenzhen FC in Macau today.

Owen Hargreaves is again a big doubt for the game because of a knee complaint, but the 16,000 Reds' fans who will pack into the Macau Stadium seem set to witness at least one United debutant in action.

"Nani should be ready for Monday," revealed Sir Alex at his pre-match press conference. "He's been training well and should feature during the match. Owen has been doing some good training and is not far away.

"It should be another tough game for us. The first two matches have been of a good standard and I expect the same again on Monday."

Beside this, China's winger, Dong FangZhuo has been fly off to join Manchester United in Macau on Sunday. Dong will join United for the pre-season training, but Sir Alex was not insist of using Dong in the pre-season's match, because he wanted Dong to be rested, after committed to playing for China in AFC Asian Cup last week.

Allardyce Desperate for New Faces at Newcastle

Sam Allardyce has expressed some frustration again over the weekend at the lack of progress on the transfer front.

Sam has already lost Joey Barton for at least 6 weeks with a foot injury and it’s starting to look like Kieron Dyer may want to leave the club.

Let’s take a look at what Sam has been saying to the press – and we’ll try to find out exactly what’s going on – certainly we have to bring more defenders and probably others into the club within a short 3 weeks.

Sam told the Journal today:

“In the last couple of weeks we haven’t got one single face in and I certainly hope in the next week it’s going to be at least one or two,” “We need another three or four before August 11 (the first day of the Premier League season) – that’s a certainty.

“Everything has hampered our progress – maybe players don’t want to come, maybe the terms aren’t good enough, maybe clubs want too much money, maybe another club’s nipped in ahead of us.

“Until you get pen to paper you never think you’ve clinched it. We just have to keep moving on.”

Sam has already said he wants at least three new defenders in – and now with Barton out and Dyer looking like he may want to go – Sam may also want to bring one or two new mid-fielders in. We were linked yesterday with center-back Brede Hangeland from FC Copenhagen and also Julio Baptista, the Brazilian attacking midfielder. Both players would be very good additions to our squad.

Hopefully we can look forward to new faces this week and we need to get at least two in – hopefully both defenders – until we know exactly where Dyer stands.

But if Kieron Dyer wants to leave Newcastle then Sam has to get rid of him. Kieron has never produced what he’s capable of at Newcastle and has been injured far too much. If he doesn’t want to be here - so be it. There’s only so much Allardyce can do for players - but if they don’t have the heart to fight for the shirt at Newcastle - they must be moved out.

We only need players at Newcastle who want to be here - then we can at least rely on them to produce 100% in each game - something that has been lacking in their performances over the last two seasons. It’s something that Sam - to his credit - will demand from them in every game.

Beckham makes Galaxy debut in 1-0 defeat

David Beckham made his long-awaited debut for Los Angeles Galaxy in front of a capacity crowd when he came on as a substitute in the 78th minute of Saturday's exhibition match against Chelsea.

The England midfielder, who has been struggling to recover from an injury to his left ankle, was cheered loudly by the 27,000 fans at the Home Depot Center as he ran on to the pitch in place of striker Alan Gordon.

Although his new team were beaten 1-0 by the FA Cup holders, Beckham was delighted to launch his much-trumpeted American adventure by playing a late cameo role in front of a packed stadium that included several Hollywood stars.

'It was very emotional,' the former England captain told reporters after 12 minutes of action that featured a few deft touches, a tumble as he tried to evade a tackle by Chelsea's Steve Sidwell and a late corner kick.

'The reaction to me if I even take off my top or kick the ball has been incredible, it made me feel a bit embarrassed at times. I really wanted to be out there tonight with all the attention. It is a great day for the club.'

His problem ankle was another matter, though.

'I'm not fit and I haven't trained since I have been out here,' Beckham said. 'The ankle is swollen and we'll see how it is tomorrow. It is not going to go away for a week or so but it's making progress, it's not a serious injury.'

Galaxy president and general manager Alexi Lalas told ESPN television: 'It is a long-term process and we want to make sure David is 100 percent.

'We have games next week, next month and over the next five years. Everyone will get their chance to see David Beckham here and across the country.'

Signed by the Galaxy from Real Madrid on a $32.5 million five-year deal, Beckham had been one of seven substitutes named for the match by Galaxy head coach Frank Yallop.

His pop star wife Victoria watched the action from a corporate suite accompanied by her actress friend Katie Holmes, wife of Tom Cruise.

Other celebrities in the crowd included Californian Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, U.S. actresses Eva Longoria and Jennifer Love Hewitt and English actors John Hurt and Ray Winstone.

Beckham did not appear on the pitch when his Galaxy team mates initially appeared for their pre-match warmup, delaying his arrival until both teams had run out of the tunnel shortly before kickoff.

Accompanied by a security official, the former England captain then made his way to the Galaxy bench with the capacity crowd at the Home Depot Center roaring its approval.

After Beckham sat down next to his fellow substitutes, he was encircled by around 100 photographers desperate to record the moment.

Beckham twisted his ankle playing for his country against Estonia in a Euro 2008 qualifying match last month.

He aggravated it in his final appearance for Real 11 days later when his former team clinched the Spanish league title.

Saturday's game, a sell-out, was the Galaxy's second-highest grossing fixture since the MLS side hosted Real a year ago, with Beckham playing for the opposition.
