Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- David Beckham will return to Old Trafford to play a charity
game between Manchester United and a Europe team next month.
Beckham, who scored on his unexpected comeback for
Real Madrid last Saturday, has been confirmed as a member of the European
All-Star team which will play United in a jubilee match being staged to mark the
50th anniversary of the founding of the European Common Market, the forerunner
of the European Union, and United's 50 years of European competition.
Beckham, Gerrard and Carragher have all been selected
for the lineup and the former England captain, who has been dropped by national
team coach Steve McClaren, will be returning to the ground where he had 11
successful seasons with Manchester United.
The European side will be managed by Italian World
Cup winning manager Marcello Lippi, who is expected to include several members
of his squad which lifted the trophy in Germany last summer.
