IMEWEKWA JULAI 23, 2013 SAA 12:14 JIONI
MAISHA si mepesi kwa David Moyes bara la Asia. Siyo tu kocha huyo mpya wa Manchester United anavyosotea saini ya kiungo wa Barcelona, Cesc Fabregas, timu yake sasa imepoteza mechi ya pili kati ya tatu za ziara ya kujiandaa na msimu.
Mchezo huo ulikuwa mgumu kuliko wa Jumamosi dhidi ya A-League All-Stars mjini Sydney na Manchester United imefungwa mabao 3-2 na Yokohama nchini Japan.
Baada ya kutanguliwa kwa bao la mapema sekunde ya 27, United ilipigana kiume na kufanikiwa kuongoza kwa mabao 2-1 hadi mapumziko baada ya Jess Lingard kusawazisha dakika ya 19 na beki wa Marinos, Masakazu Tashiro kujifunga dakika ya 31.

Kikosi cha Man United kilikuwa: De Gea; Fabio, Jones, Evans/Smalling, Evra, Anderson, Cleverley, Zaha/Giggs, Lingard/Ashley Young, Januzaj/Kagawa na Van Persie/Welbeck.Lakini timu ya Japanese ikasawazisha haraka kipindi cha pili na ikapata bao la ushindi zikiwa zimesalia dakika tatu, wakati Yoshihito Fujita aliyetokea benchi alipomtungua David de Gea kutoka umbali wa mita 12, baada ya Jin Hanato kuwatoka Patrice Evra na Phil Jones upande wa kushoto.
Yokohama: Enomoto, Dutra, Aguiar, Tashiro, Kobayahsi, Nakamura, Hyodo, Tomisawa, Nakamachi, Marquinhos na Sato.

HOMEGROWN HERO KAGAWA

Japan midifelder Shinji Kagawa was shown 42 times on television by the host broadcaster before he even made it on the pitch. 
Despite playing just 30 minutes in the second half and being on the losing side, the homegrown hero was awarded the man-of-the-match award.
The Japanese international didn’t actually make it on to the field until the 60th minute but his face still flashed  up regularly on the big screen. They do get rather excited by their star players over here in Asia and it is hard not to be impressed by their sheer enthusiasm.
Back to the game and United responded to their setback impressively. Playing a pretty orthodox 4-4-2 in the first half, attacking players like Wilfried Zaha, Jesse Lingard and Adnan Januzaj all impressed. 
Zaha in particular was keen to take his man on every time he got the ball and his direct play led to United’s equaliser in the 20th minute.

DON'T MENTION THE R-WORD!

Wayne Rooney
Unsettled Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has become something of a taboo subject at the club. Rooney - who is at his Cheshire home nursing a hamstring injury - has become unmentionable during MUTV's match coverage, despite still being a United player. 
Rooney even netted the winner against Liga de Quito in the Club World Cup final in Yokohama back in 2008. Aside from mentioning the former Everton striker's name when the club's official TV station were listing the starting XI from that day, the R-word wasn't uttered again. Not in Tuesday's game, or in Saturday's 5-1 win over the A-League All-Stars.
ADAM CRAFTON 
Easing past the full-back down the right side, Zaha delivered a low cross that the Japanese defence couldn’t cope with and when it fell to Lingard seven yards out he couldn’t really miss. His third goal in his last two games, it is proving to be an impressive tour for the young forward.
For the remainder of the first half, United were pretty much in control. De Gea did save well with his foot from Marquinhos in the 15th minute while Janujaz did his job well in heading an in swinging corner off the goal line.
At the other end, though, United were making life uncomfortable for the Marinos defence and when Janujaz swung in a dangerous free-kick just after the half hour, home goalkeeper Tetsuya Enomoto made a right mess of things and the subsequent confusion ended up with defender Masakazu Tashiro diverting the ball in to his own goal.
With United making a couple of changes at half-time, their momentum inevitably suffered. 
Jonny Evans was an inch off target in the 47th minute while Danny Welbeck again seemed to over-complicate things when presented with a couple of half chances.

United paid for these moments of profligacy, too, as central defender Fabio appeared unmarked at a corner in the 49th minute to head Marinos level at the far post.
Kagawa’s arrival certainly helped to make the final half an hour interesting as United understandably began to wilt in the conditions. The one chance that did come his way, though, saw him shoot rather tamely at the goalkeeper from the edge of the penalty area.
Fellow substitute Ashley Young, meanwhile, almost marked his first action since April’s Manchester derby, only for his 80th minute shot to be deflected in to the side netting.

Sadly for United, though, there was to be a winning goal and it came at their end.
United, as expected, tired noticeably late on in the game and when one substitute, Jin Hanato, weaved his way past Evra and Jones down the left, another, Yoshihito Fujita, beat De Gea with a first time shot.
