Asia Tour 2009
The tour is over and the boys are back in Europe today. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this pre-season tour on MUTV and apart from the 16 goals in 4 games, I will take a few good memories with me including:
- The stat that there are an amazing 1.2 million United credit card holders in Korea
- The thousands of fans greeting the team at the hotel in China
- The packed stadiums erupting into delirium everytime Rooney or Owen appeared on the big screen
- Park's superstar status in Korea; he's bigger than Becks ever was in the UK
- The most enthousiastic United supporters I have seen yet, including the Palestinian student with a loudspeaker getting the Chinese crowd to chant 'Gory Gory Man United"
