Manchester United held their first open training session on their Tour 2010, and One United USA members in the Philadelphia area had an exclusive opportunity to see their Old Trafford heroes train right in front of their very own eyes.
The intimate atmosphere allowed the members - young and old - the chance to interact with the players and Sir Alex Ferguson with an autograph session at the end of the practice.
To give potential members the idea of how exclusive this was, fellow United supporters that live in England are not able to watch them train at Carrington.
One United USA, the official membership and supporters club for United in America, was able to offer this opportunity to their members because of their strong relationship with the club.
Because of strong interest, One United USA's allocation of passes to the other training sessions in both Kansas City and Houston have been sold out.
David Hammons, Red Views Editor for the USA branch, was interviewed by Gemma Thomson, who is the Contributing Editor for the club, about how the Tour 2010 was going so far in the States. The interview can be view in its entirety on United’s website – manutd.com/tour2010.
