Cole back for Legends of the North match

The announcement comes after fellow Reds favourite Bryan Robson was confirmed as team manager, with ex-striker Cole further bolstering this impressive backroom line-up as tickets are still on sale for the big event.

Known to the Stretford End as 'Goal King Cole', Andy loved to score against the men from down the East Lancs Road, notching 11 times against them across 23 career appearances – the joint-most he scored against any club.

This includes four in the red shirt of United, with a memorable brace in a 3-1 win at Anfield back in 1997 being the standout for many fans.
