Xabi Alonso will return to Anfield to play for Liverpool FC Legends against Manchester United.
The iconic former playmaker has joined the Reds’ squad for the second leg of the Legends of the North tie, which takes place on Saturday September 24 (3pm BST kick-off).
LFC Legends won 3-1 at Old Trafford in the first meeting back in May.
Alonso accompanies the likes of Martin Skrtel, Fabio Aurelio and Momo Sissoko in signing up for the match, and more names will be added to Sir Kenny Dalglish’s squad in the coming weeks.
The ex-midfielder made 210 appearances and won the Champions League, FA Cup and UEFA Super Cup in a five-year Liverpool career during which he became a firm fan favourite.
