Real Madrid have upped the stakes for the Red Heart United charity match against Manchester United by enlisting two world greats, Zinedine Zidane and Luis Figo, to take on the Reds at Old Trafford.

Zidane and Figo will join a host of former Real players including Fernando Hierro, Fernando Redondo, Steve McManaman, Jose Amavisca, Alfonso, Emilio Butragueno, Pedro Contreras, Manolo Sanchis, Christian Karembeu and Ivan Helguera at the Legends match on 2 June, which will raise money for the Manchester United Foundation.

The first leg of this charity thriller was played last June at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium and finished 3-2 in favour of Real Madrid. Last week, Edwin van der Sar, Jaap Stam, Teddy Sheringham and Nicky Butt were added to the list of United greats who have already pledged to play at the game.

"The game is certainly going to be a crowd pleaser," said manager Bryan Robson. "Judging by the players that Real Madrid are bringing to Old Trafford, I’d say they are taking it very seriously, but so are we!

"They narrowly beat us last year and we are all determined to make a comeback at Old Trafford but, above all else, we want to put on a great show for all the fans. The work the Manchester United Foundation does in the community is really important to us and it’ll be a great day to raise funds and highlight its achievements."
