Sir Alex Ferguson’s first game in charge of Manchester United was a 2-0 loss at Oxford United, likewise new manager, David Moyes who suffered a 1-0 defeat to Singha All Stars in Thailand on Saturday.
All Star Captain, Teeratep Winothai scored the only goal on 50 minutes at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, beating Ben Amos at his near post.
“It wasn’t a brilliant result but this wasn’t one we desperately needed to win,” said Moyes.
“It is one we needed to get prepared to win games.”
In the absence of Robin van Persie, Nani, David de Gea, Javier Hernandez, Nemanja Vidic and Wayne Rooney; 18-year-old Adnan Januzaj shone in the midfield for United while former Crystal Palace winger Wilfred Zaha was unlucky not to score an equalizer on his debut, his shot hitting the far post with just eight minutes to play.
“Wilfried did well,” said Moyes. “He gave us something different.
“We have brought him here to give him a chance. It is the first time I have worked with him and had a chance to see him up close.
“He will certainly be part of the squad and we will see where we can fit him in as often as we can.”
United now travel to Sydney, where Van Persie and David de Gea will join the squad.
