Manchester United definitely responded just how Ferguson would have expected.
After being beaten by the Wizards with a controversial goal, United came out with guns blazing against the MLS All-Stars taking a very early lead through Macheda, who latched onto a bad back pass and slotted by the keeper to put United ahead 1-0.
From that moment on United attacked with flare and conviction that was refreshing to see in a fairly young side, who definitely gave Sir Alex something to think about for the coming season.
With two goals by Macheda, a fantastic free kick from Gibson, a wondering bit of skill and finish from Cleverley, and all rounded off by a wonderfully timed run and delightful chip from Chicharito it was a great evening of attacking football and would have given the lads loads on confidence with only one game remaining on the tour.
The final score was 5-2 with Ching and DeRo scoring for the MLS All-Stars. Macheda was given the match MVP, and well deserved with 2 great goals and a match where he looked lively and dangerous throughout.
Next stop Mexico before heading back the UK to meet up with the World Cup players and a few more matches before the Community Shield against Chelsea.
If this tour has not done anything else, it has made me realize that maybe we don't need a big name signing, these kids just might prove a lot of people wrong.
We have a good mix of talent youth and experienced pros who have been there before, so let everyone else waste millions on players and try to build their own real life fantasy squad.
I, for one, will trust in Sir Alex and this group of players who are a real team - not a collection of individuals.
Glory, Glory Man United!!!
