The U’s defeated Ipswich Town in their final pre-season friendly on Saturday to secure four wins from their four friendly fixtures.

Currie scored the opener, converting Tyler Goodrham’s ball across before Stan Mills dispossessed David Button in goal and swept the ball into an open net to double the score.

Oxford look ahead to their first competitive fixture this coming Saturday, a Carabao Cup clash with third-tier rivals Leyton Orient before the new League One season commences a week later.

Ipswich were the first team above United in the English football pyramid that Ramsey’s men played, beating lower-league opponents Aldershot Town of the National League as well as League Two clubs Barnet and Crawley Town in the three games prior.

“We’ve had games this pre-season that have challenged us in multiple ways, with the physicality of Barnet and then the technical quality of Ipswich,” Currie observed after the victory over the Tractor Boys.

“I think what’s really important for us is that we’re versatile, like we have been, and we can change things up when we need to, and we’ll be enjoying football.

“I think the bottom line of it is they’re a Prem team, so whoever they put out are Prem quality players, and that just shows the quality we do have with everyone.

“I’m just very glad we can put what we want into the game, and we can give the fans something to be excited for.

“We all knew exactly how we wanted to set up and we were excited. Everyone really enjoyed the way we were playing.

“We got set up nicely by the gaffer and the staff. I think the main thing was that we implemented it. We weren’t nervous in the ball or anything.”

New head coach Ramsey has seemed to have had an inspiring influence on the U’s squad, bringing in top-level experience after a stellar playing career with giants like Arsenal and Juventus.

“He’s come in with fresh ideas, fresh ways of playing that I think suit the boys a little bit better, so it’s important that we do put them on the pitch and keep enjoying our football like we did today.

“Even [assistant head coach] Chris Gunter as a full back myself. You look at these players and you think that’s the career you want to have.

“They’ve both had unbelievable careers.

“They’ve got an incredible buy-in from everyone around the club. And it’s a really nice buzz, especially with the wins in pre-season.”

The 22-year-old bagged the second goal in a 2-0 win over the Tractor Boys at the Kassam Stadium after Jack Currie opened the scoring earlier in the second half.

The win meant that Oxford took a perfect record away from pre-season with four wins from all four fixtures.

Mills’ goal was his second in three friendly appearances after scoring three minutes into the 2-1 win at Barnet earlier in the summer.

After being named United’s Players’ and Supporters’ Player of the Season last year, Ramsey reiterated the winger’s importance.

“Obviously, Stan is really important with what we’re trying to achieve here,” the Yellows boss said after the Ipswich victory.

“And him closing the keeper down and winning the ball back and things is very good.

“You can score the worldie goals as well, but that’s just as important.”

Pressure at the top end of the pitch has epitomised how Ramsey’s United have looked in their four matches under his tutelage.

The 35-year-old’s style has, so far, brought results with the team scoring 10 goals and conceding three in their pre-season fixtures.

“The demands that we put on the boys are really high and, physically, they need to be able to deal with that.

“Pressing is one of the things that we try and do.

“We want to be able to win the ball back high up the pitch, where ultimately we’re closer to the goal to score.

“I want to be on the front foot, being able to control the game, be exciting, score goals.

“But there’s a lot of things that need to happen for that to align.

“So without the ball as well in how we look. And then pressing triggers, that compactness.

“All of these things ultimately define if you are capable of playing that way.

 “We need to nail them things first.

“We’re very demanding,” the former Arsenal midfielder emphasised.

“We’re giving them a lot of detail, but they’ve taken it all on really well.

“And you can see, over the course of the game today, they come out on so many different occasions.

“It’s all about gaining our confidence.

“We did play a really strong opposition there today, they’re in the Premier League, so have some really good players.

“Even though it is pre-season, we can’t underestimate what we can take out of that.

“Hopefully now that gives our players a lot of confidence going forward into the season.”

Oxford begin their season next this week with a Carabao Cup visit to League One rivals Leyton Orient on Saturday.

Council representatives from Europe and North America are attempting to secure support from at least 19 of the body’s 37 members – the threshold required under Fifa statutes to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).

If successful, that gathering could evolve into a vote of no confidence in Mr Infantino, whose presidency has been rocked by a collapsed commercial deal and deepening governance rows.

Discontent has been fuelled by his abandoned plan to spin off Fifa’s commercial operations into a $20 billion venture, including selling a 20 per cent stake to private equity firm Thrive Capital.

The proposal, which critics described as a sell-off of the World Cup, triggered fierce backlash, a threatened boycott by UEFA and accusations that Mr Infantino tried to push the project through unilaterally.

Following the U-turn, UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin declared the confederation had “lost confidence” in the Fifa boss, while CONCACAF publicly demanded a full review of Fifa’s governance.

La Liga’s president has also called for Mr Infantino to be removed as Fifa president, increasing the pressure from within European football.

Council members’ anger predates the commercial debacle and was already sharpened by Fifa’s handling of the controversial lifting of Folarin Balogun’s suspension during the World Cup.

That decision is alleged to have been influenced by political pressure, prompting rebels to demand an independent external review and leading the Norwegian FA to complain to the International Olympic Committee that Fifa breached neutrality rules by bowing to pressure from President Donald Trump.

Fifa insists that due process was followed and that its ethics committee took the decision independently, but it has yet to publish a written report on the case, further inflaming tensions on the council.

For now, Mr Infantino retains key allies in Asia and Africa, and any attempt to oust him would depend on rebels building cross-confederation support ahead of a possible EGM.

But with UEFA and CONCACAF openly challenging his authority, the Fifa president faces an unprecedented battle to keep control of the game’s most powerful office.

This comes after Oxford United owner Erick Thohir backed FIFA’s World Cup sell-off scheme put forward by Mr Infantino.

Oxford’s owner is also president of the Indonesian Football Association and has spoken to Sky News, vowing to support the FIFA president’s proposals.

Mr Thohir signed a deal with Infantino last year to form a FIFA ‘hub’ in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital.

The U’s owner is seemingly one of very few people in favour of the new plans, along with David Trunda, president of the Czech FA.

“If FIFA members approve it, it will show there is a demand for this deal to happen,” the Yellows’ owner insisted, speaking to Sky News.

Should the plans be voted through by mid-September, all 211 member associations would receive a $40 million windfall.

The Indonesian FA are members of AFC who have opposed FIFA’s scheme, and Mr Thohir’s country is set to vote in favour.

He continued to Sky News: “Indonesian football has been transformed in the last three years – it has been cleaned up.

“The national team’s ranking has gone from 174 to 118 – to continue this transformation it needs funding.”
