Manchester United are planning to take an extraordinary gamble by breaking off
from their title defence to make a one-off visit to Saudi Arabia that will raise
inevitable questions about whether the club's owners are putting finance before
football.

Determined to build on a reputation as the world's best-supported club, the
Glazer family have provisionally agreed for the team to make a 6,000-mile round
trip to Riyadh in January for a testimonial for the former Saudi Arabian
international striker Sami Al-Jaber.

United will be paid more than £1m for sending their high-profile players and Sir
Alex Ferguson will be asked to put aside any concerns about long flights, a
different climate and gruelling schedules.

This was the 1st I'd heard about it. Did you get the story from the Guardian CSG? That's the only link I can find to this story on the web.

It says that United will make an official announcement about the trip on Saturday so I guess we'll find out then.

It's a crazy idea to do this in the middle of the season. We played a charity game at Old Trafford midway through last season that some people thought was a bit risky. To travel to Saudi Arabia for a meaningless game is pushing it too far imo.

yep

If its true its a joke, when cfc and Arsenal lose players to the African nations, you would be letting an oppertunity go, to take advantage of weakened teams., especially if you got injuries because of it.

I cant see the need to go in January tbh.
