Manchester United confirm full legends squad to face Liverpool in second charity fixture

Manchester United have confirmed their full legends squad to face Liverpool at Anfield this Saturday at 3pm.

United lost the first 'Legends of the North' fixture at Old Trafford in May of this year. Luis Garcia opened the scoring for Liverpool in the first half, followed by a brace after the break from Mark Gonzalez to condemn United to a 3-1 defeat.

The first charity game raised over £1.3million for the Manchester United Foundation, with Dimitar Berbatov scoring United's only goal of the clash. Former striker Andy Ritchie will take charge of the team at the weekend, in the absence of Bryan Robson, and will be assisted by Andy Cole.
