Several of United’s past stars are seen gearing up for the big fight, interestingly set to the tune of Monday Night Football.

So who’ll be showing up to this classic? For United, how about Edwin van der Sar, Bryan Robson, Lee Sharpe, Denis Irwin, Dwight Yorke, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham and Jaap Stam. How does that sound? Oh yeah, and Paul Scholes will be joining the party as well for one last run-out.

Real Madrid meanwhile, plan to field the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Luis Figo, Steve McManaman, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Fernando Redondo, Fernando Hierro and Claude Makelele.

To put it lightly, this should be quite the treat!

David Beckham’s emotional exit

David Beckham broke down while being substituted in PSG’s 3-1 win over Brest on Saturday.

Those tears quickly turned into cheers, though, as his teammates joyously tossed Becks up into the air. It’s a good thing they didn’t drop him — they were not messing around on that last throw.

Watch out, Tiger!

Real Madrid stars Raphael Varane, Gonzalo Higuain, Fabio Coentrao and Mesut Ozil took a day off from the pitch to play a round of FootGolf. Yes, golf with a soccer ball.

According to worldfootgolf.com and footgolf.info, FootGolf has been around for many years and is played in over thirty countries. Just as in golf, the main purpose of the game is to get the lowest possible number of kicks into a hole. Sounds easy, right?

Check out how the Real Madrid players ventured during their FootGolf session. Certainly looks like fun if you have that kind of time.
