Neville and Silvestre return in Reserves game

Neville against City Reserves

Gary Neville and Mikael Silvestre played in Thursday’s Reserve league game against Manchester City reserves. The defensive duo made huge progress towards their imminent return to first-team action. Neville completed the full 90 minutes in the match against City to give him enough match fitness to start thinking about a return to the first team. Silvestre was substituted on the 76th minute, but he made good progress from a serious knee injury that he suffered in August of last year.

 

The result of this match was a 4-1 win for Manchester United reserves. Simpson scored one goal while hot prospect Danny Welbeck scored a hat-trick. Neville and Silvestre will contribute more depth in the Man Utd squad, in their bid to go on an 8-match winning run, which would mathematically guarantee them the Barclays Premiership trophy for another season.
