Young Devils claim victory
New signing Anderson made a 45-min debut as a youthful looking United side fought their way through to a well earned 2-0 win over League One counterparts, Doncaster Rovers. Goals came in the 2nd half from Darren Gibson and Sean Evans to cap off an assured performance in attack and at the back from the United team.
Smith ends United tenure at OT
Yorkshire-man Alan Smith will be plying his trade at St James Park this coming season as the deal taking him to Newcastle United has been finalized at an undisclosed fee. Smith will be likely to make his debut in a friendly against Sampdoria on Sunday.
Tevez joins the boys in training
After the West Ham's agreement to a 2 million pound settlement, Carlos Tevez has been given the all-clear to move to OT and began training on Friday with the United squad in preparation for a targeted debut in the Dunfermline friendly next Wednesday. He will be likely to miss the Community Shield showdown on Sunday but the news of his transfer must surely be a relief to players, staff and fans all over as he looks set to be unveiled some time next mid-week.
Hargo makes debut!
Another young squad was fielded less than 24 hours after the Doncaster match to record a emphatic 3-1 victory against minnows Peterboro - managed by Sir Alex Ferguson's son, Darren. However, the highlight of the match must have been the introduction of former Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves at half time to make his first appearance in a United shirt since his 17 million pound move from the Bavarian club. Adam Eckersley and Ritchie Jones netted goals earlier on before a wonder strike from Chinese national Dong Fangzhuo in the 77th minute wrapped the match up for the Reds.
