Great news for Man Utd. Tevez is the only player missing right now. Hopefully he can start during the season opener against Reading.
Hargreaves, Rooney, Giggs, Scholes, Fletcher, Silvestre and Brown played against Dunfermline and the rest (2nd team) played against Glentoran. They won both, first 4-0, second game 3-0. </p> Tevez was expected to play against Dunfermline but they league is still doing the paperwork. </p> Now there's word that even if he's ready for Reading, they won't play him since he hasn't trained with them yet, and probably will play him when they meet Man City. </p>
