United to Riyadh

A fixture I've been looking out for is Manchester United's one million pound trip to Saudi Arabia. The date has been set for Monday 21st January.
Ferguson said “This is a great chance for the players to escape the harsh realities of winter for a few days, while keeping up their fitness levels and taking in the exhibition match,” adding “I hope we will come back from this refreshed and ready to continue the challenge for honours.”

It's FA Cup 4th Round weekend when they get back. Will be available on TV in the UK - very possibly not. Would you take an afternoon off work, allowing for time zone differences - very possibly not.
