Manchester United<\/a> footballers reunited for Gary Neville\u2019s testimonial.<\/p>\nFormer winger David Beckham is returning for the match and he will be joined by current United players such as Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.<\/p>\n
All of the players were part of the \u2018Class of 92\u2019 who came through the youth system at the same time and went on to dominate the Premier League, before winning a famous treble in 1999.<\/p>\n
And Ferguson is looking forward to a great occasion as the club celebrates the career of their former right-back, who retired during this season after making 602 appearances for the team.<\/p>\n
“With David Beckham coming, along with Nicky Butt, Phil Neville, Scholes and Giggs, it will be a fantastic occasion,” he told reporters.<\/p>\n
“It is great to reunite these players together.<\/p>\n
“There is no question they created a magnificent spirit in the place when they first arrived in the team.<\/p>\n
“It helps us too because Gary’s service to the club deserves a good representation from Manchester United.<\/p>\n
“He has been a fantastic servant and I hope he gets the crowd he deserves.”<\/p>\n
The former England international Gary Neville will use the game to increase environmental awareness.<\/p>\n
“I have recognised in the last two or three years the need to make personal changes in my life,” he added.<\/p>\n
“Reducing my environmental impact is going to be a five-year transition for me and my family but with planning permission for my new eco-home being granted and my association with wind turbines, I am on track to complete this journey.<\/p>\n
“I believe sport crosses all boundaries and plays a significant role in many people’s lives.<\/p>\n
“From my perspective, we have to look at the effect sport has had on other issues over the last 20 years to see that when sport comes together with society, positive actions can happen.”<\/p>\n
