Ferguson upbeat despite Milan defeat

Manchester United 1 AC Milan 1 (Milan won 9-8 on penalties)

While Manchester United lost all three games on tour of the US, there were some encouraging performances during the three-game 10-day stay.

Players like Phil Bardsley, Chris Eagles, Jonathan Spector and Kieran Richardson were all given lengthy run-outs. They all performed to a good level and Ferguson took heart from their displays.
