Brian McDermott has not given up on stunning Manchester United's 'strongest squad yet' on Monday night.
Reading returned from a four-day warm weather training camp in Dubai on Thursday and McDermott felt it was a productive trip. "It was the right thing for us to do because the conditions over here last week were difficult to say the least," he said. "We trained in 25 degrees heat and needed to get the best possible preparation for the next game. "It was a good break for everyone and the squad's come back looking forward to the next game."
