Celtic defender Thompson enjoyed Man Utd trials

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 03/08/2010 - 03:16

Celtic defender Josh Thompson has revealed how he had trials with Manchester United.

Thompson moved to Celtic last summer from Stockport County.

He told the Sunday Mail: "It was amazing at United. The trial was just as they were getting set to play in the Champions League Final.

"I assumed I would be training with the reserves but when I jogged out it was Rooney, Ronaldo, Edwin Van der Sar and all the other big names.

"We played a five-a-sides game and I was up against Nani and Park Ji Sung. It was the end of the season so they were taking it a bit easy but I wasn't.

"At the end of the week Sir Alex Ferguson told me I had done well and if I kept working hard, I would eventually get what I deserved.

"I didn't get a contract offer but it was a great grounding for coming up to Scotland and playing in the SPL."
