Last week The Epinal spoke to Vice-Captain Sam Minihan about this prestigious fixture:
“Speaking on behalf of the team we collectively can’t wait for this fixture. For a university team to have the opportunity to play against one of the greatest teams in the world shows how respected Loughborough is.
“In preparation for this game we have been training like we would any other match.
“All the lads set an extremely high standard in training and games and demand an elite level performance.
“We have also played in a couple of games against what is seen as superior opposition. We have more than managed to hold our own in these games.
“I’m expecting an intense, challenging game. One in which we are more than prepared for.
“We expect a strong Man United team which will play fast, possession based football. I’m sure everyone who comes to watch will see a great game of football.”
