Rooney: Saturday is going to be special
It will be a special moment to be back out there at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon for the Legends game, and it is all for such a good cause.
It will be great to play there again, my last game was for Soccer Aid in 2021. The atmosphere was brilliant and I can’t wait to see all the fans again and I am really looking forward to it.
I have seen, first hand, the great work that the Foundation does, through the programme funded from money raised at my testimonial game, against Everton in 2016.
The work they do in the local communities is vital and it really does help a lot of young people.
It is important that we continue to do what we can, when we can, to support the Foundation and continue to put smiles on children's faces.
Rooney's message to you
🤳 Wayne has this to say ahead of his return to Old Trafford on Saturday...
I am particularly looking forward to meeting up with my former team-mates, who I have not seen for a while.
First of all, it is for a great cause but, to be honest, the thing you miss the most when you stop playing is the dressing-room banter.
I am sure there will be plenty of that around this weekend!
I am certainly looking forward to meeting up with all of the team and sharing great memories of being a Manchester United player.
Furthermore, our opponents, Celtic, are a club that I followed when I was younger. I always look out for them when they are playing.
I've been to a few games and they have got great fans too.
See you on Saturday!
