24 Manchester United have confirmed the squad for Saturday’s legends match against Celtic.
The eagerly awaited legends match takes place at Old Trafford, with Michael Carrick, Nicky Butt, Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes and Dimitar Berbatov among those returning to the pitch.
It will be a fantastic occasion for fans to see some of the great players from yesteryear, who represented the club and were idolised by the fans.
I was asked recently by the Manchester United Foundation which of the legends was my favourite. You can hear the exchange below as well as the thoughts of fellow Reds.
We asked these three Reds to pick their favourite player from our #MULegends squad 🔴🤔

Rooney is by far the biggest pull factor because it’s the first time he has been announced to feature in such a fixture. We are sure it will be the first of many since he is the club’s all-time record scorer.
All proceeds to go to the Manchester United Foundation.
