Man Utd made a wierd visit to Saudi Arabia for a friendly agaisnt Saudi club AL-Hilal, i say wierd becuase they are right smack in the middle of the season and it doesn’t make much sense to travel that far for just a friendly, anywayz it’s done and Utd lost 3-2.
Manchester United youngster Danny Welbeck sent a last-minute penalty over the crossbar otherwise it could have ended 3-3.
The name of Manchester United has clearly permeated through to this part of the Gulf and the Premiership champions, and Cristiano Ronaldo in particular, were afforded a noisy welcome by the Saudi fans, many of whom had entered the stadium at least three hours before kick-off.
The purpose of the game, however, was to mark the retirement of Al Hilal’s legendary Saudi international Sami al-Jaber.
United had been paid one million pounds to provide the opposition for al-Jaber’s testimonial game, but Al Hilal proved from the kick-off that they had no intention of making life easy for their illustrious visitors.
