United players whip up desert storm on winter break

Some of Manchester United’s biggest stars were amongst the spectators at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha yesterday.

The Old Trafford players flew to the Middle East for some winter sunshine training following their draw with Tottenham on Sunday but enjoyed a few hours away from football with the blessing of manager Alex Ferguson.

Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Johnny Evans, Paul Scholes, Michael Carrick and Rafael were in a group following the fortunes of Colin Montgomerie, Justin Rose, Martin Kaymer and Jason Dufner.
