MINUTES ON THE PITCH
The final score may reflect that it was both teams’ first match of the pre-season, but United’s trip to Scandinavia aimed not only for a successful start to the summer but also to ensure players across the squad gained valuable minutes. This objective was accomplished at the Strawberry Arena, where 24 out of the 29 Reds who traveled to Sweden participated in the match. The starting XI completed the full first half, while 13 members of Amorim’s squad joined in after the break to enhance their match fitness and sharpness. Fortunately, all players who participated came through the game without any injuries, making it a positive experience overall.
