Manchester United Legends will take on Celtic Legends in a special one-off charity encounter at Old Trafford this afternoon (Saturday), brought to you by the Manchester United Foundation.

A team full of club icons, managed by our former captain Bryan Robson, is set to return to the Theatre of Dreams for the 14:00 BST kick-off, with tickets still available.

Plenty of players have already been announced as participants with the aim to raise as much money as possible to help aid our Foundation’s efforts in the local community.

HOW TO WATCH AND FOLLOW THE ACTION

If you cannot come along to what should be an exciting event, the game will be shown live on MUTV in full. Coverage is set to begin at 13:00 BST.

Ben Ibson will be joined by Dion Dublin pitchside, with Niall McCaughan and Sammy McIlroy providing commentary as the action happens from Old Trafford.

As mentioned above, kick-off will commence at 14:00 BST and with plenty of huge names set to be involved, it’s an occasion you won’t want to miss out on.

Dimitar Berbatov will also play and Karel Poborsky will hope to provide our former Bulgarian forward with some killer service from out wide, with Nicky Butt another confirmed attendee.

Denis Irwin, Wes Brown, Ronny Johnsen and Mikael Silvestre have also made the cut, along with current first-team coach Darren Fletcher.

OUR REASON WHYBack in May 2022, a staggering £1.3million was raised as our Legends took on Liverpool in a memorable occasion at Old Trafford.

All proceeds from this afternoon’s event will once again support the Foundation’s vital work with young people across Greater Manchester and beyond.

Manchester United Foundation offer a range of educational projects for young people in the local area and we are proud of the continued help we provide.

From educating youngsters about the inner workings of a football club to improving confidence, life skills and employability, our programmes are innovative and inspiring – everything you would expect from Manchester United.

Every penny raised goes back into our projects that support our communities. Read more about our work here and see where your donation will go.
