IN FRONT of a watching Kevin Keegan, James Troisi played the full 90 minutes for Newcastle reserves against Manchester United reserves in a 1-1 draw.
Troisi peppered the Red Devils’ goal but did not get on the scoresheet in front of almost 3,000 at St James Park.
Playing alongside the Aussie star was Turkish international Emre who made his comeback to competitive football with 45 minutes of football.
United, with Gary Neville in their ranks, had a man sent off as did Newcastle as both sides finished with ten men.
Troisi has been on the bench four times for the Magpies since signing in early 2006.
The 19-year-old Olyroo star from Adelaide recently played for the Socceroos in a friendly against Singapore.
His contract with Newcastle ends on June 30 and national coach Pim Verbeek has encouraged him to find a club which will give him regular first team football.
