Manchester United legend heading to Doncaster Rovers after Fabrizio Romano confirmation

A team of Rovers icons will face ‘United Legends’ - a team of stars who once famously represented the red half of Manchester - to raise funds once again for the Eve Merton Dreams Trust.

The fixture has been a regular summer addition to the calendar since 2013 and has helped to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for the Doncaster-based charity. Last year's event raked in £107,000 and bumped the overall total raised by all 11 charity games to more than £700,000.

Now, Ryan Giggs, the 13-time Premier League winner, has confirmed his participation in this year's event. The news dropped over the weekend via social media with the Eve Merton Dreams Trust putting together a spoof transfer video - with esteemed journalist Fabrizio Romano announcing Giggs' 'signing'.

Other players lining up alongside Giggs include Wes Brown and John O'Shea whilst former Rovers favourites confirmed so far include Brian Stock and Matty Blair.

The match takes place at the Eco-Power Stadium on Saturday, May 31 (2pm kick-off). Tickets are priced at £8 adults, £5 for concessions (aged 17 and below) and £20 for a family ticket (two adults, two concessions) and are available from the stadium box office or online at Rovers' official website.
