On September 7th, local time, Rooney will play for the Manchester United Legends team against the visiting Celtic at Old Trafford.
This match will see many former Manchester United veterans participate, including Carrick, Fletcher, Scholes, Butt, Berbatov, and Valencia. This Manchester United Legends team is quite active, but this is indeed Rooney’s first participation in the team’s game. The match will take place during the international break in September when the club will be on a break, allowing Rooney to make time for this game.
The purpose of this match is to raise funds for the Manchester United Foundation, and Rooney’s presence will naturally increase the attention significantly. A spokesperson said: “Rooney is one of the greatest players in the history of the club and the national team. His name is known not only by all the club’s fans but also by football fans around the world; he is one of the most famous athletes in the field of football.”
“This will also be Rooney’s first return to Old Trafford as a player in seven years. He will briefly move from the bench to the pitch. He has great affection for Celtic, and now he will have the chance to face this team.”
