The Manchester United Foundation has teamed up with Sport Relief for United Relief Live. This unique fundraising event on Saturday 1 May will feature music from The Saturdays and the football talents of a host of celebrities including comedians James Corden, Paddy McGuinness and Jason Manford, TV and radio presenters Tim Lovejoy, Mark Chapman and George Lamb plus former England rugby and Strictly Come Dancing star Matt Dawson.

However, the highlight for United fans has to be the return of one of the most prolific strike partnerships in the club's history. Dwight Yorke and Andrew Cole scored over 50 goals in the 1998/99 season, helping to win the Treble and seal their place in Reds folklore. Now they're coming back to Old Trafford to play for a Manchester United XI against Sport Relief’s Rivals team. Andy Cole said:

“It should be great fun, to get together with some of my old team-mates and have a bit of a runout. I'm looking forward to it. It will be nice to try and roll back the years and see if I can link up with Yorkey again. We both keep ourselves in good shape.

“I’m especially looking forward to playing in front of the United fans again, we always had a good rapport. This is all for a great cause and that's the most important thing. It’s nice to help people less fortunate than yourself and to help two great charities carry on their good work.”

So, is anyone likely to get to OT to have a laugh at this and help raise a few quid for Sprt Relief?

wow, cant believe their out
What do you think about that shock exit. How does it improve uniteds chances? Lyon should have ended 3-1, got 2 great chances and they missed it.

every time my wife tells me she loves me:love:

Anyone else been watching The Big Match Revisited on Sky ? Ive been addicted to it recently and even encourage my football playing son to watch and take note of the proper footballers playing a proper game . I am of an age where i remember these matches from the late seventies onwards , in fact the 1975 FA Cup Final was the first game i actually remember getting excited about . It really does show todays chumps up to be the prima dona they really are . Hard men in those days playing the beautiful game in the manner it should be played , big crowds huddled together singing and chanting and the only live matches were England games and the big FA Cup Final . Match of the day on a saturday night with Jimmy Hill and The Big Match on sunday afternoons with Brian Moore . Wow what a trip down nostalgia lane .
Football , isn't it ? young boys in cotton shorts ...................
