Davids to play for Barcelona Legends

Former Netherlands midfielder Edgar Davids will represent Barcelona in the upcoming Legends match against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday 2 September.

The game will serve as the second leg of this Legends tie, after the Reds came away from the Nou Camp with a 3-1 win in June, courtesy of goals from Jesper Blomqvist, Karel Poborsky and Dwight Yorke, while Frederic Dehu bagged a late goal for the Catalans.

The combative Davids featured for 82 minutes in the first leg before he was replaced by Quique Estebaranz, putting in an impressive display which saw him roll back the years as he battled with United's Ji-Sung Park for superiority in the engine room.
