Marseille vs Manchester United
on Feb 24 @ Balls Channel
I’m mildly surprised that players I used to know (are you beginning guess how old I am?) like Edwin van der Sar, Ryan Giggs, Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney are still around. However, I don’t know if they’re still any good but Man U has always been a strong team.
Speaking of old players, Didier Deschamps (former Juve midfielder) is now the coach of Marseille. He was the coach of Monaco FC and the relegated Juve for a time. Apparently, he has a bit of bad luck for tomorrow's match as his three first choice strikers are injured. So that means no André-Pierre Gignac (groin injury) and Brandão and Loïc Rémy (both twisted ankles) are still not sure if they are fit to play against United. I wonder how Deschamps will re-arrange his team formation.
