"Mary was always a leader," said United manager Marc Skinner in his pre-match news conference. "She always had a voice and her own opinion - I always welcomed that. She always said what she was thinking. "We welcome her back and absolutely respect her for what she did here. We also welcome her back as an opponent and I have to be clear on that. During the game, it's about us trying to win against Mary."

Tony Popovic has declared teenage Manchester United sensation James Overy a chance to make the Socceroos' World Cup squad next year, even though he is yet to play a competitive senior match. The highly-touted full-back only turned 18 on Sunday but is now training regularly with the Premier League club's first team. Popovic selected Overy for this week's friendlies against Venezuela and Colombia as the Socceroos continue to prepare for next year's World Cup in North America.

Following their 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, Amorim admitted there are potential areas for improvement. Particular in the attacking position, where Benjamin Sesko suffered an injury against Tottenham. Although the full extent of the injury is still not known but if the injury turns out to be a serious one for the Red Devils, they would have to step into the market to sign a new attacker.

I don't know, I have to check. My biggest concern is with Ben. For me, they are all the same but we need to understand what happened. When asked specifically if Sesko could be facing a lengthy period on the sidelineds, Amorim said: He has something in his knee, so let's see. We think he has a problem.

The Slovenian had already wasted a couple of opportunities when he suffered an injury three minutes from time chasing down a long ball. It was immediately obvious Sesko could not continue, and as United had already used all five substitutes they had to complete the game, which stood at 1-1, with 10 men. Head coach Ruben Amorim confirmed afterwards Sesko had sustained a knee injury, but did not know how serious it was.
