Wayne Rooney will play for Manchester United Legends against Celtic at Old Trafford on September 7.
The match will see a host of former United players in action, including Carrick, Fletcher, Scholes, Butt, Berbatov and Valencia.

The match is being played to raise money for the Manchester United Foundation, and Rooney’s presence is sure to draw significant attention. A spokesperson said: “Rooney is one of the greatest players in the history of the club and country, and his name is not just known by all club supporters, but by fans all over the world. He is one of the most famous athletes in football.”
