Well done Asoire - Is this the team developing for the 2022 World Cup ?


Qatari club Aspire hammered Manchester United 5-1 in the Milk Cup Premier Final in Ballymena.



Ibrahima Drame bagged a hat-trick inside the first 25 minutes and Pabe Babacar added the fourth goal.


Jack Barmby pulled a goal back for United before Souleyman Kone hit Aspire's fifth.


Aspire boss Simon Jennings said:"We are trying to develop them all the time. "We bring them to tournaments like the Milk Cup to expose them against players like Manchester United and it's a privilege to be on the same pitch as them. "The boys were better prepared this year. We knew what to expect, got together early and were better prepared. "The plans are to keep on developing and we know that we have a good group of young professionals on our hands here."

Did you see the Aspire 'Kids' though?  If any of them were less than 21, I'd be shocked.Still wouldn't mind seeing one or two of them at Utd though :)
