The Reds go marching on!

It's been a long long while since I've written anything. And I sort of promised our reader(s) that I will take more effort and actually write a proper post *clears throat* and not a one liner and call it a post.
As you might have already known, the Red Devils were in town for the Manchester United Asia Tour 2009. Playing in Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea and China. With Malaysia being their first stop, it was a great opportunity for the team to show off the brand new kit as well.

To be really honest, I didn't fancy the new kit so much when I first saw the "preview" images. But after a while, hey, it doesn't look that bad eh. It's still too expensive for me to get one now. I've not been buying the kits for quite a few seasons now. :(

Nike being one of our clients, I had the greatest privilege to help out at the Nike Man Utd press conference, where I got to see the great Rio Ferdinand, Darren Fletcher, Nani and Darron Gibson up close but not too personal. At the press conference, found out a few things.
#1 - Rio Ferdinand is not on Twitter, and he is quite a funny fella.
#2 - Darren Fletcher being a Scot, speaks clearer English than Sir Fergie.
#3 - Nani can hardly speak English. Boy, its time to learn. Summore want to change Maths & Science back to BM la!

After the press conference, I rushed down to Bukit Jalil for the training session. Nothing much happened, but it was a good opportunity to get to see the players in person. Now, there is a Man Utd legend that every Man Utd fan would know, and Nike organised a coaching clinic with some school kids. The clinic was conducted by none other that Bryan Robson. Though I did not get any autographs from any of the Man Utd players or former players. It was a great experience all together.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few thousand for you to slowly digest. GLORY GLORY MAN UTD!

Check out how short some of the Malaysian players are compared to the Man Utd players.

Yes, Malaysian players were always on the back foot, chasing after the ball.
