Manchester United Legends are set to take on PFA Aussie Legends in an all-star charity match at the nib Stadium in Perth on March 27.

Paul Scholes, Dwight Yorke, Denis Irwin and Teddy Sheringham will form part of the United legends that will take on the PFA Aussie Legends in a historic clash that will raise money for Manchester United Foundation and the DT38 Foundation.

This will be the first time the Manchester United Legends have visited Western Australia and the team will be managed by former United and England captain, Bryan Robson.

It’s also the first time Professional Footballers Australia has assembled a legends team, which will be coached by former Socceroos coach Frank Farina OAM.

The match follows previous Manchester United Legends campaigns against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool.

Robson says the Red Devils legends are looking forward to the match and insists that they will be hoping to walk away as victors from the competition.

‘The players love it, but they don’t like to lose once they’ve been brought up at a club like United, so the lads who play in Perth will definitely want to win,’ Robson told the Manchester United website.

‘The previous legends games have gone fantastically, for the fans and also the amount of money raised for Manchester United Foundation and other charities. I’m sure we’ll get a similar response in Perth from the fans and they’ll really enjoy the game.’
