Manchester United<\/a>‘s trophy-winning sides of the mid-1990s and turn of the century are set to run out at Old Trafford one last time for Gary Neville\u2019s testimonial later this month.<\/p>\nFormer favourites Nicky Butt and Phil Neville have confirmed their participation for the match against Juventus on May 24, while David Beckham has also been asked to play.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn’t ask for more than to have all my friends back for one last time,\u201d Gary Neville told the club’s official website.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf possible, it will make the night even more special for me and I hope the fans will enjoy seeing them back too.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were special times for us – we were young lads fulfilling our wildest dreams and hopefully we will get to experience that again against Juventus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fellow former-youth team graduated and current United stars Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs will also take part in the testimonial match.<\/p>\n
Phil Neville added: \u201cI am so excited to be going back to Old Trafford to celebrate what will be an amazing night for my brother.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking forward to playing with my brother and my friends one more time. It will be an emotional night for all the family but what a fitting way for Gary to bow out of a fantastic career.\u201d<\/p>\n
Butt is also looking forward to the prospect of running out one last time in front of the Old Trafford crowd.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen Gary asked me to play in his game I immediately said yes, especially when I heard that the class of ’92 were going to be there too,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a special time for all of us growing up and it is only now as you look back that you actually see what an amazing story it is. I am sure the fans will give him and the rest of us a great reception, as they mean the world to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
The match will take place days before the Red Devils take on Barcelona in the Champions League final at Wembley and other names rumoured to be featuring in the match include Peter Schmeichel and Eric Cantona.<\/p>\n
