I was genuinely and pleasantly suprised to come across an open letter from Gerard Pique on United’s site today, thanking many for their help and support.

United Hope to Have Happy Super Fun Time! in Japan

By: Nick | Comments 1 Comment

After a trip to Monaco for the UEFA Super Cup to face Zenit St. Petersburg — United will travel to Japan in December for the (in my opinion) seemingly pointless FIFA World Club Championship.
