Meanwhile, Ferguson’s lineup will comprise of players in his Premier League and Champions League-winning squad of 2008 – Edwin van der Sar, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.

Carrick confirmed Sir Alex Ferguson’s involvement in a promotional video recently. The 35-year-old thanked the Manchester United legend for his management and guidance.

He said:

Honoured that he’s going to come back and be part of the game. He’s probably the sole reason I came to the club and I can’t thank him enough. He’s been a huge influence on my career, learned so much from him and he’s the man who probably taught me to win.
