Manchester United Legends v Celtic Legends
The Legends are back! Following on from the incredibly successful Legends of the North fixture in 2022, when the likes of Dimitar Berbatov, Antonio Valencia and Patrice Evra took on old foes Liverpool, a team of former Reds will once again unite to raise money for Manchester United Foundation.
This time, the opponents will come from north of the border, with legends from one half of the Old Firm – the famous Celtic – making the trip to M16.
The clubs share cultural connections with both having strong Irish roots. Celtic’s links to the Emerald Isle are well documented, having been originally founded to raise funds for the Irish immigrants of Glasgow back in 1888. To this day, the club still proudly wear the Irish four-leaf clover on their crest. Similarly, many of the railway workers who formed Manchester United - then known as Newton Heath, of course - were Irish immigrants.
In fact, their influence was so keenly felt that when it came to changing the name of Newton Heath, some have suggested that one of the possibilities was Manchester Celtic. In the end, the club settled on Manchester United, but this Irish influence, along with the strong Irish population of Manchester led many Reds of yesteryear to follow both United and Celtic.
Last time out in May 2022, the match against local rivals Liverpool helped raise over £1.3 million, which went towards supporting our community projects and the work we do in schools across Greater Manchester and beyond. Echoing the words of our manager for the day, with your support, we’ll be looking to do the same again to ensure that the young people we work with continue to be offered the best opportunities to succeed in life.
