Manchester United arrive in South Africa .....


...... after a 12 hour flight and only 24 hours later they open their 3 match tour with a game against Orlando Pirates.

United are without all of the players that participated in the World Cup and are set to give the youngsters an outing. Plenty of talent available, but after such a long journey, the asian handicap of +1.5 goals on the home side looks attractive.

The Pirates are no mugs and finished second in their domestic league, losing only 4 times in 30 starts and finishing the season on a 11 match unbeaten run.

This is very much a diplomatic trip for United , do not think they will be looking to give their hosts a thumping, have to advise a bet on the Pirates.

2 points Orlando Pirates +1.5 goals 2.18 asian line.

Good Luck.
