To come this week


It's never easy to watch loads of other teams have all the fun in midweek while we wait for Saturday tea time to come along, so here are a few United-related things to look forward to this week.

Okay, the Carling Cup draw might bring a (compulsory attendance) home game against The Bridge Inn XI, but it could just easily produce a cracking away match somewhere random.

And speaking of random trips, anyone for Rubin Kazan or Unirea Urziceni? Watch the UEFA Champions League draw here this week. Then come back to find out the best way to get there!
