John O Shea previews Legends of the North game with Liverpool

The experience served to further inspire John’s enthusiasm for the Legends of the North game, as he commented: “When you see the work behind the scenes that the Foundation does, whether it be helping schools, or in projects all around the Greater Manchester area, it’s really special.

“The work that they put in creates a strong bond between the kids and the club, something that will hopefully continue to grow as they progress in their education and ultimately help them build a nice life for themselves.

“We’re all incredibly excited to be back at Old Trafford of course, and really looking forward to playing in the game, but, when you see what the Foundation does, it really hammers home why we’re doing this!”

Manchester United Foundation works with young people in schools and community projects from across Greater Manchester and beyond. Proceeds from this game will go towards the continuation of this work and supporters wishing to attend the game can find more information and purchase tickets here.
