Manchester United 2 Valencia 0







Today is a big day for Ilyas and Maisarah as they will be watching the greatest football club playing in the greatest stadium in the world. We were joined by Ajim and his son, Ryne. This is the first time experience for Ryne as well. When we first arrived at the stadium, Ilyas was quite sad because everybody is wearing a red shirt and he only got the white England shirt with him. So Umi bought him a red Manchester United scarf. Not to be outdone, Maisarah got one for herself too, but in pink colour of course.

This is Manchester United seventh friendly match before the start of 2009/2010 season but the first time held at the Old Trafford. The opponent for tonight is Valencia which boast several top Spanish internationals such as David Villa and David Silva. The kids were quite ecstatic and they joined the crowds singing the Glory Glory Man United song, clapping enthusiastically whenever the atmosphere get excited and participating in the famous Mexican wave. When Wayne Rooney scored the first goal, the stadium erupted with cheers from more than 74,000 fans. The same thing happened when youngster Tom Cleverly scored the second. There is nothing David Villa and David Silva can do in this Theatre of Dreams.

Right after the game, Ilyas and Maisarah asked to watch Man United match again. I told them we will, but the next time will be in Stadium Bukit Jalil. :)
