Fresh from being inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame, the famous no.9 will take his place in the dugout as assistant manager for the day, along with fellow club great Bryan Robson who will be managing the team.
Cole scored an incredible 121 goals in 275 appearances for the club between 1995 and 2001, winning five Premier Leagues, two FA Cups and the legendary Champions League triumph of 1999.
The former forward, along with many of his team-mates from that glorious period, has previously returned to Theatre of Dreams in support the Legends games and Manchester United Foundation, which benefits most from the day.
