Manchester United Chief Executive David Gill was in Abu Dhabi to officially launch the joint venture partnership with Reem Investments and Manchester United Soccer Schools.

At a press conference in the new Clubhouse at the Dome@Rawdhat, David Gill was joined by Bryan Robson, former Manchester United and England captain, Bambang Sugeng Bin Kajairi, CEO at Reem Investments and David Seales, General Manager, Manchester United Merchandising to announce expansion plans for MUSS into Abu Dhabi and the GCC.

Following the successful launch of MUSS in Abu Dhabi in October and the completion in December of an initial six-week course which attracted more than 200 youngsters representing 25 nationalities, the new ten-week module has now begun.

It focuses on the specific challenges and techniques required to master the midfield positions on the pitch, and places are still available for seven to 16-year-old boys and girls.

“Running projects such as this one in Abu Dhabi demonstrates Manchester United’s global appeal,” said Gill.  “It shows the importance the Club attaches to take Manchester United as close to our 333 million supporters around the world as possible. 

“We will continue to take a keen interest back in Manchester in how both the players and the programme progresses here so that we can support our coaching staff in delivering the best grassroots coaching programme possible.”

“We want to develop good football players, but also confident individuals with good character and attitude,” said Robson.  “This belief is consistent across all of our youth development programmes and Soccer Schools courses around the world”.

The second MUSS programme getting under way at the Dome@Rawdhat is themed ‘Learn to Control and Create the United Way’ and will highlight the signature moves of current Manchester United midfielders Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Darren Fletcher with children learning specific techniques such as the Scholes’ ‘stop turn’.

Youngsters benefit from catch-up sessions and individual player evaluation, and the bonus for footballing parents is that they get a coaching session all of their own.  To learn more about the MUSS programme call 02 449 8480 or visit www.manutdsoccerschools.ae.
