Background

Tickets which went on sale earlier in the year sold out in minutes. [1] A Manchester United training session which was open to the public attracted 22,000 people at Allianz Stadium. [2] It is the first time since 1999 that Manchester United have visited Australia. [3] On 18 March 2013, it was announced Melbourne Victory coach Ange Postecoglou will coach the all-stars squad, chosen by fans who voted. [4]

Some A-League players, including Alessandro Del Piero and Emile Heskey, were not able to play due to other commitments. [5]
