Man Utd to take on MLS All-Stars


English Premiership giants Manchester United will take on Major League Soccer's All-Stars in the 2010 MLS All-Star exhibition in July, capping a four-match North American tour.
The All-Star game will be played on July 28 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas.
Prior to that Man United will play Scottish heavyweights Celtic on July 17 in Toronto, MLS's Philadelphia Union on July 21 and the Kansas City Wizards on July 25.
The tour will mark the first time United have played games in this region of the world since 2004.
"Manchester United are among the most recognized and successful clubs in the world, and we are pleased to have them compete against our All-Stars and two MLS clubs this summer," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said.
"We are proud to once again present our supporters with one of the most compelling All-Star Game formats in sports and we believe Manchester United's North American tour will be a tremendous celebration of the sport following the 2010 World Cup in South Africa."
