Beckham Makes His Old Trafford Return

As a ManU fan, I'm receiving the official newsletter from Manutd.com. The following post is also taken from Redview 15th February 2007, Issue 144.

David Beckham will be back at Old Trafford next month after being named on the all-star Europe XI squad list to face United in the Jubilee Charity Match on 13 March.

Becks, who gave the Reds 11 years' service before departing for Real Madrid in 2003, will be joined by Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher.

"I'm happy I'm going to play on March 13th," said Becks. "It will be something special to go back to Old Trafford, and I'm really looking forward to it."

The special match marks two jubilees: Manchester United's half-century of involvement in European competitions; and the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, which laid the foundations for a united Europe.

It is being staged by the Manchester United Foundation and UEFA, with support from the European Union. All the proceeds from the celebration match will go to charity. Click here to book tickets.
