Manchester United is to run a short training camp, hosted by HRH
Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in Saudi Arabia
in mid-January, it was announced today.
The trip which will see the full first team squad, plus an
extended backroom staff of physios and masseuses will include an
exhibition match against Al Hilal Al Saudi FC in Riyadh on 21
January 2008 as part of Sami Al Jabbers testimonial.
Announcing the break, Sir Alex Ferguson said: This is a great
chance for the players to escape the harsh realities of winter for
a few days, while keeping up their fitness levels and taking in the
exhibition match.
I hope we will come back from this refreshed and ready to continue
the challenge for honours.
