Beckham to face United on US tour

David Beckham is set to play against former club Manchester United after being named in the Major League Soccer All-Star squad to face the Red Devils later this month.

Beckham, whose wife Victoria has just given birth to their fourth child Harper Seven, returned to Old Trafford in May to take part in Gary Neville’s testimonial and will rub shoulders with some of his old United colleagues again on July 27 at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey.

Also included in the MLS squad are Beckham’s Los Angeles Galaxy team-mate and one-time Everton loanee Landon Donovan, Arsenal legend Thierry Henry and ex-Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez, both of whom currently play for New York Red Bulls.
