My favourite team of last 24 years, Man Utd, will be making their way to Malaysia next year as announced in a press conference held yesterday. Summer 2007 means during the months of June/July/August. Hopefully I'll be in Kuala Lumpur then or will ensure that I'll be there to witness their matches. Their last trip to Malaysia in 2001 was excellent. A crowd of 67,000 watched them played the Malaysian national team (Man Utd won of course, by 6-0) in Kuala Lumpur. Even their training session was attended by about 20,000.
This Man Utd's travel in 2007 was made available via a club sponsor contract signed between Man Utd and Malaysia Tourism Minitry which is also in conjunction with Visit Malaysia Year 2007 and Malaysia's 50th Independence Anniversary.
David Gill was joined at the press conference by Sir Alex Ferguson, AirAsia chief executive Tony Fernandes and Malaysia's Minister of Tourism, Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor. Paul Scholes and Wayne Rooney also attended a photo-call.
