Ronaldinho set for Old Trafford

The prospect of seeing David Beckham, Ronaldinho and Steven Gerrard take on the likes of Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs is the stuff of fantasy football.

But the Jubliee Charity Match at Old Trafford on 13 March, which celebrates 50 years of Manchester United in European competition, will witness exactly that after Barcelona confirmed that four of their players will join the ranks of Marcello Lippis all-star Europe XI squad.

Ronaldinho, two-time FIFA World Player of the Year, is joined by his defensive team-mates Carles Puyol and Lilian Thuram, and midfielder Gianluca Zambrotta.

Old Trafford legend Sir Bobby Charlton said: It promises to be a fantastic occasion with Ronaldinho and David Beckham facing our Manchester United team. Every young football fan would relish the chance to see all these great players. Its one of those rare opportunities to see European footballs finest players together on one pitch, and Old Trafford is the perfect stage.

All profits from the match go to the Manchester United Foundation, which will leave a legacy in local, national and global communities. The focus for the Foundation is to inspire young people through the provision of a range of football and educational programmes. This will be achieved through delivery in local schools and forming partnerships with other young people organisations.

Papers: Becks' big goodbye

My Chance To Say Goodbye
David Beckham cannot wait to return to Old Trafford and offer an overdue thank-you to the Manchester United fans. Becks never got the chance to say goodbye to his beloved United fan club when he was sold to Real Madrid for £25million 3½ years ago. But on Tuesday March 13 he will play for a European Select XI against his former club to mark the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome and Uniteds entry into European competition. Becks said: It will be a special occasion for me. Ive been back to Old Trafford with England but never to see the United fans. Unless we draw United in the Champions League this will be my only chance to go back there and say goodbye. I never had a chance to do that.
