From: RED DEVIL on


Sir Alex will take a 22-man squad to America on Monday morning as the
Reds jet off to begin their pre-season tour.

Experienced campaigners including Edwin van der Sar, Ryan Giggs and
Paul Scholes will be joined by a host of younger squad members with
the likes of Corry Evans, Ben Amos and Tom Cleverley included on the
trip. New signing Javier Hernandez, who represented Mexico at the
World Cup, will link up with his new team-mates in Houston on 27 July.

Captain Gary Neville will stay behind after suffering a calf injury in
training. A club spokeswoman told ManUtd.com: "Gary has suffered a
minor setback in training with a small tear to his calf muscle. He
therefore won�t be going on the tour as it will be more beneficial for
him to remain at Carrington to improve his chances of being ready for
the start of the season."

From 12-30 July, Sir Alex's men will be visiting cities in America,
Canada and Mexico. First stop is Chicago for a training camp, before
the Reds' first match on Friday 16 July against Celtic in Toronto. The
squad will then head to Philadelphia for a meeting with Philadelphia
Union on Wednesday 21 July, before travelling to Kansas City to take
on the Kansas City Wizards on 25 July. Next stop is Houston for a
match against the MLS All-Stars, before the Reds end their trip with a
visit to Guadalajara to take on Hernandez's former club Chivas on 30
July.

Travelling squad: Edwin van der Sar, Tomasz Kuszczak, Paul Scholes,
Ryan Giggs, Dimitar Berbatov, John O'Shea, Wes Brown, Rafael, Jonny
Evans, Darren Fletcher, Darron Gibson, Chris Smalling, Nani, Fabio,
Federico Macheda, Danny Welbeck, Javier Hernandez (will join in
Houston on 27 July), Mame Biram Diouf, Tom Cleverley, Ritchie De Laet,
Corry Evans, Ben Amos, Gabriel Obertan.

Not the most auspicious start to the season for Neville. It makes you
wonder how long he can continue. I really think it is time for the
likes of Gibson and Wellbeck to really stand up, really develop into
players fighting for a spot in the starting XI. Good to see Nani fit
and ready.

I do hope you are not one of those people who believe that our players
should have a winter break.
