The Manchester United Legends are back in action this summer with a trip to Barcelona to take on the Catalan giants.

The charity clash at the Nou Camp takes place on Friday 30 June, kicking off at 19:00 local time (18:00 UK), and is sure to bring back plenty of memories for both sets of players.

“Barcelona is a special place to go and play,” commented ex-Reds star Paul Scholes. “I had some great nights there but also had some difficult nights there to be honest with you.

“I’m looking forward to it. It’ll be nice to spend a weekend with the other players and the football is always the key part of it but I’ll tell you after the game if it’s enjoyable or not!”

Scholes is likely to be joined by former colleagues such as Jesper Blomqvist, Ronny Johnsen and Dwight Yorke in the showpiece occasion. Barcelona will be coached by Jose Mari Bakero and could include Miguel Angel Nadal, Ludovic Giuly and Juliano Belletti in their line-up.

The return game will take place at Old Trafford on Saturday 2 September with kick-off at 15:00 BST
