Pre-Season: AmaZulu 0-1 Manchester United

The build up to the Premiership season continued for giants Man Utd, who began a spectacular 6 match tour of the world by beating South African team AmaZulu in front of a capacity crowd at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.United's solitary goal was scored neatly by young prospect Federico Macheda after 19 minutes. This proved to be the only goal of the game, and United were even put under severe pressure by a lively AmaZulu side. Goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard made some smart saves to maintain United's lead.One other bright spot for Ferguson's men was the sight of Shinji Kagawa, who made his debut from the subs bench.See how Kagawa and co fare this season with Man Utd tickets, or try Barcelona tickets or Real Madrid tickets.This was a strong United team, featuring club legends like Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand, midfield stalwart Michael Carrick, young striker Chicharito, and Dimitar Berbatov.The South Africans looked energetic throughout, despite being a middle ranked league side. They may have been buoyed by the pre-game birthday tribute to 94 year-old Nelson Mandela, with both teams singing a song of celebration.United will now travel to Norway where they will face a tough match against Valarenga, before heading to Barcelona (in Sweden) and then the German city of Hanover. All in all, that's a tour of 35,000 miles. They will hope to be fully prepared when they face Everton in the opening league game.
