Young footballers with an eye for goal are being offered a chance to learn the skills displayed by Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatov, Manchester United’s dynamic trio of strikers.

The three Old Trafford stars, who have notched a combined 253 goals for the reigning English Premier League champions, are the focus of a new ten-week programme being launched on Saturday, 7 April by Manchester United Soccer Schools (MUSS) in Abu Dhabi.

‘Learn to Attack with Flair the United way’ will teach UAE youngsters how to perfect football techniques mastered by Rooney, Hernandez and Berbatov, whose goals fired United to their 19th English league title last season.

Those who sign up for the course could earn a flying visit to Manchester for United’s final home game of the current season at Old Trafford against Swansea City on 5 May. All youngsters taking part in the programme go into a draw to win two tickets for the home game including return flights and accommodation.

Andy Dixon, head coach at MUSS in Abu Dhabi, said: “Manchester United has a proud history of playing exciting and attacking football and we have witnessed some incredible goals from the first team players in the race to win the Premiership”.

“All players no matter what their age enjoy scoring goals, and this new module will teach the techniques demonstrated by these three world class strikers.”
“At the same time, we place a lot of emphasis on nutrition throughout the programme, teaching the children in a classroom setting the importance of adopting a balanced, healthy diet, encouraging them to make the correct food choices as part of their daily routines, especially before and after training.

“We really can’t stress the importance of healthy eating to the children enough. Feedback from parents and children since MUSS launched in 2010 has been fantastic – as the children learn that what goes into their bodies produces better results on the pitch, we notice such a difference in their attitudes”.

The popularity of the MUSS programmes continues to grow since its launch in the UAE capital in 2010 in a partnership with Reem Investments, and the number of sign-ups grows with each ten-week course. Featuring 12.5 hours of on-field coaching by certified MUSS coaches, the programme costs AED1,650 and includes an exclusive Nike Manchester United training kit and giveaway pack as well as catch-up sessions and individual player evaluation.

All players enrolled in the programme in Abu Dhabi will also take part in the MUSS series of skills challenges with the top two point scorers receiving an all expenses paid trip to Manchester to represent Abu Dhabi in the World Skills Final at Manchester United’s Carrington training ground as well as the world famous Old Trafford stadium in 2012.

Reem Investments built the Dome@Rawdhat to create a vibrant sporting community in the area. More than 18,000 people use the facilities every month. To learn more about the MUSS programme visit www.manutdsoccerschools.ae or call 02 449 8480.
