Today we look at Jesper Olsen as our player of the day. Olsen played for United in the mid 1980s after joining the club from Ajax. The Dane was a key part of United's 1985 FA Cup victory but never quite lived up to his talent while at United. He was forced to retire due to injury but is now helping to manage an A-League team in Australia. He had a recent health scare as well so it is nice to be able to bring you Jesper Olsen as the Player of the Day on this open thread knowing that he is now in good health once again. There are several great articles on the web about Olsen including this one that I found interesting. He wasn't an all time great and never really made a mark in England but he was one of the first foreign imports to grace the Old Trafford turf and make a mark for United.
Question. If you have the ability to play for United but could only play one match in the first team, and you had to pick the match before the season started, which match would you pick?

I agree that would be mine too
I was going to say Liverpool away at first but if I could only play once I would want my run out to be at Old Trafford.

You can add me as well
So, besides Old Trafford (and Wembley) where else would you like to play, past or present? For me, it’s Celtic Park…I’ve can’t stand Rangers and I’ve always liked Hoops.

Pretty much no where else
Maybe away to Turkey cause experiencing that atmosphere as an away player would be a real test of mental toughness.

Anyone else about to watch England take on Montenegro?
It’s on Fox Soccer Plus in the US, if you get it, or else I’m sure there’s a stream
