Aberdeen FC’s Vernon aiming for double against Manchester teams

ABERDEEN FC striker Scott Vernon aims to shoot down his boyhood heroes to complete a Manchester double.

Manchester United, the team Vernon has supported all his life, will face Aberdeen FC in a friendly at Pittodrie on Tuesday, August 14.

For Vernon, facing the Old Trafford giants in Neil Simpson’s benefit match, will be a “dream come true”. But that will not stop the striker going all out to net against Sir Alex Ferguson’s world stars – after scoring against Manchester City.
