MU Legends v Celtic Legends
Manchester United take on Celtic
Manchester United Foundation has signed some legendary players to take part in a charity match between Manchester United and Celtic at Old Trafford on 7th September.
THE SQUAD
Football icons like Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick, Darren Fletcher, Antonio Valencia, Dimitar Berbatov, Nicky Butt, and Paul Scholes are among the star-studded lineup set to face the Celtic Legends, and you can buy tickets now.
Bryan Robson returns to the helm as the manager of the United Legends, going head-to-head with Celtic’s Paul Lambert. Andy Cole will also be back as assistant manager. Robson, a former United captain and a steadfast supporter of Manchester United Foundation, has been involved in every Legends match since the inaugural event in 2012.

Reflecting on his continued involvement, Robson shared, “Each time I've had the privilege of participating in these matches, the competitive spirit is always alive. The players may have retired, but their desire to win remains strong. We’ve had some incredible games over the years, and I’m thrilled to be managing the team once again.”
Dimitar Berbatov, who found the net against Liverpool in the 2022 Legends match, is equally excited about returning to Old Trafford.
“It’s always great to reunite with the boys, share some banter, play football, and most importantly, raise money for a worthy cause,” Berbatov said. “It’s wonderful that we, as former players, can contribute to the Foundation's various initiatives while doing what we love.”
