Wayne Rooney to Play in Manchester United Legends Match

Wayne Rooney will make his long-awaited return to Old Trafford to participate in a charity match against Celtic Legends on September 7, marking his first appearance for the Manchester United Legends team. This match will feature several former stars including Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Carrick, and Paul Scholes, under the management of Bryan Robson. Rooney, the club's all-time leading scorer, expressed excitement about the opportunity to play against Celtic, a team he has a personal affinity for. The match aims to raise funds for the Manchester United Foundation, continuing the club's tradition of supporting community initiatives through such events. Rooney's last appearance at Old Trafford was in 2017 while playing for Everton, making this return particularly special for fans. Tickets for the event are currently available for purchase, with proceeds contributing to charitable efforts.
