Roy Keane set for first Anfield appearance since infamous Sir Alex Ferguson Liverpool rant

Roy Keane is set to take to the Anfield turf for the first time since his infamous final appearance for Manchester United in September 2005, as Manchester United legends travel to Merseyside this afternoon.

The Red Devils' former captain was announced as a late inclusion to the Manchester United squad that would be travelling to Anfield to take part in the second game in the Legends of the North series. The two sides locked horns at Old Trafford back in May, with the Reds running out 3-1 victors, on an afternoon which raised an incredible £1.3m for the Manchester United foundation.

In the weeks building up to the fixture both United and Liverpool have slowly drip-fed star-studded names to their supporters; with Liverpool boasting Champions League winners such as Xabi Alonso, Luis Garcia, Mohamed Sissoko and Florent Sinama Pongolle. While their counterparts have named a squad including a plethora of Premier League winners such as Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov.
