Manchester United Name Squad For FIFA Club World Cup
« on: December 08, 2008, 01:03:27 PM »
Manchester United have announced on the club's official website, the 23-man squad that will fly to Japan to participate in this year's FIFA Club World Cup...
Manchester United will miss one round of Premier League action before Christmas because they will be taking part in this year's FIFA Club World Cup after winning the UEFA Champions League at the end of last season.

The Red Devils play Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday before flying out to Japan the next day, and Sir Alex Ferguson has made a clear statement of intent by naming a full-strength squad.

The tournament starts on December 11, but United will not feature until the 18th, as they have received a bye straight to the semi-finals where they will do battle against one of the following teams: Adelaide United [Australia]; Waitakere United [New Zealand]; or Gamba Osaka [Japan].

Egyptian kings Al-Ahly contest Mexican side Pachuca in the other half of the competition and the winner will then play LDU Quito of Ecuador in the other semi-final.

The final will be staged three days after the semis, on the 21st, at the Yokohama Stadium, and then the reigning double champions will return on Boxing Day to take on Stoke City.



Travelling Squad:

Goalkeepers: Van der Sar, Kuszczak, Foster.


Defenders: Neville, Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic, O'Shea, Evans, Rafael.

Midfielders: Ronaldo, Anderson, Giggs, Park, Carrick, Nani, Scholes, Fletcher, Gibson.


Strikers: Berbatov, Rooney, Tevez, Welbeck.
