i know
just a quick announcement we would like to inform you that cctv is now in operation for your safety
well very well welcome to you on this most pleasantly clear evening conditions
absolutely beautiful perfect for the beautiful game temperatures are kind as well no doubt
playing a hand in high attendance levels as well as an elevated level of anticipation here
surely this is the hot ticket going around in this deck of the woods
it surely must be so red and white of course the preeminent colors at old trafford which is now
officially the largest club football ground in england it's capacity 75 000 and growing
well this is the perfect game for all parties not least the neutrals who've just come to enjoy it
yes peter it's a shame it's only a friendly but then again that may help us see a more expressive
attacking contest and i'd be prepared to settle for a clash of of lesser intensity in favor of
of lots of flair skill and plenty of tricks and a few goals i suspect i've probably overstretched my
my level of greed here and already we're on the way here jim which player is best equipped for
this game yeah joshua kimmick in many ways the ultimate modern fullback in that he contributes
just as much offensively as he does defensively he seems to have a great instinctive understanding of
when to move forward and and that means he rarely gets cut out of position on the counter attack he
should be a key player for this team i'm thinking the same he will be a central feature no doubt
well that is one way to stop him ball needed to be better there that's a wasted chance
some good play on the left-hand side now to profit from it greenwood does well to get it back
fred producing a good steal there showing a good level of alertness
shifted up field and it's koreca and here's lewandowski oh strongly challenged there
good run ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of defending
crowd appreciates good football all around there
it's a poor throw that picked off with relative ease he goes along he's picked him out it's great
that is simply breathtaking oh it was a brilliant way tomorrow let's bring this
first half to a close and you can only applaud such a fabulous goal
to separate these two teams and from a player you should never really doubt
the vision wonderful the technique perfect it just came down to a battle of wills between him
and the keeper and he won it with a cracking piece of trickery number 11 nathan greenwood
so we have our breakthrough yeah this is also a chance to see what happens
to their level of concentration from here that's been intercepted
mctominay
fiddles it through green words
and that's gone behind for a goal kick
and that is going to be the final action of the first half so there you have it a close
sport half of football but rather still had its moments it ultimately produced just one goal
well that certainly pleased the fans and the players are definitely happy
with that scoreline the question is now can they protect it manchester united is
that gets things going for the second half manchester united's going well here and they're
in a good position to kick on and add to their lead they don't have to over commit but they can
place more emphasis on stretching their advantage without necessarily neglecting things defensively
just as i thought peter it looks like this is a side that's setting themselves up for a counter
attack yeah stand by for the early ball the big one over the top yeah and those that are up top
peter have to be willing to to chase and of course those in midfield have to be ready now to recycle
and they have got just the right players for that
mctominay the attendance for this match was 71. 149.
oh that's a waste always bustling through here shifts it out to the wing sun
that's what has to be done now no question about it they're coming again and again spot on peter
and it's been taken straight back sends it forward
he's gone away
oh he's not gonna get that
can happen and here's lewandowski
all the balls come loose there's a good bit of gold to aim at here and the finish
bayern munich really are showing all the necessary urgency but it's potency they need
he's left his man crowd calling for him to shoot oh that's a waste
keep calm and carry on that's the job in a nutshell now
there's much frustration as to the lack of a touch to finish that off substitution
bayern munich are making a change now two changes being made right now by munich have a free kick
that's quick free kick there will be one minute added time
so that's it it is all over manchester united bring it by the only goal result no question
the most important thing however it came final score one nil your reflections then
jim and there's a lot more to read into this game than just the score line well that's it
for tonight's match so it just remains for me to thank jim becklin alongside me and
