In Photos: Manchester United Thrash Airtricity As Chicharito Gives Hope

TO Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, Dublin,to see Paul McGrath watch the game and Manchester United thrash an Airtricity Select XI 7-1. Not too long ago Wayne Rooney was smoking a fag and urinating against a wall. Now he looked fit and hungry and ready to play against Chelsea in Sunday’s Community Shield.

We also saw new signing Hernandez – who obligingly goes under the Abba-esque terrace chant-waiting to-happen nickname Chicharito. He scored. There is hope for tomorrow.

Rooney earlier offered this comment: “Since I signed the league has got harder to win. In previous seasons you might have straightforward games where the top clubs can rest players, but that is not the case any more.”

United play Blackpool on December 4…
