Tour Diary 2: Seoul mania
ManUtd.com journalist Gemma Thompson is travelling with the team throughout their tour of Asia and will be bringing readers regular updates from inside the United camp...
After a busy first day the Reds enjoyed a relaxing morning at their hotel in preparation for the match with Urawa Reds on Tuesday.
Most of the squad took part in a mid-morning stretching session, while others carrying minor knocks - notably Hargreaves and Nani - did some work in the gym. The players rested in their rooms after lunch before making the hour-long trip to Saitama Stadium. The Manchester-like drizzle did little to dampen the spirits of the thousands of fans who had camped outside the stadium ahead of the team's arrival.
Before kick-off Sir Alex and Sir Bobby Charlton paraded the Premiership trophy around the pitch much to the delight of the 58,000-plus within the ground.
