Aviva Stadium, Dublin

Live on MUTV and MUTV Online

Four World Cup players - Wayne Rooney, Michael Carrick, Ji-sung Park and Nemanja Vidic - plus Antonio Valencia, on his way back from an ankle injury, will be in the squad for the match against Airtricity League XI at Dublin's new Aviva Stadium.

All five missed the Reds' tour of North America and the subsequent friendly in Mexico so Wednesday's game will be a key step in their preparation for the new 2010/11 season.

"Rooney, Park, Carrick and Vidic are back in training and are doing well," said Sir Alex Ferguson. "Valencia is also training well and needs a game. All of them will be involved and Chicharito will also be part of the squad."

The boss also confirmed that his two Republic of Ireland internationals - Darron Gibson and John O'Shea - will play. "Yes, they deserve to, and O'Shea will probably be captain."

After helping to open a new ground in Guadalajara, Mexico on Friday, the Reds will be doing the same in Dublin on Wednesday. Sir Alex is impressed by what he's seen of the Aviva Stadium - "it looks fantastic, it is spectacular" - and feels United are appropriate first visitors given the many links between the club and the country.

"This is a great way to recognise the relationship we have, which goesback many, many years, to the days of Johnny Carey. We have had some fantastic players from Ireland," said the United manager.

The Dublin match comes just four days prior to the Community Shield clash with Chelsea at Wembley. The Reds then open the Barclays Premier League campaign with a Monday-night home game against Newcastle United on 16 August

A lot expected from Javier Hernandez - the latest MU addition

Javier Hernandez - rather more famous by the name "Chicharito" scored 2 great goals in the FIFA 2010 WC

A lot has been said about this 22 year old bright Mexican forward called Javier Hernandez, more famously known as Chicharito in his home country. He is the first Mexican Manchester United signing and a very proud one indeed. He was aquired by United in April but got his work permit through later in May - which sooner or later had to happen!

He is certainly one of the most quickest, finest and agile finishers of the football. His heading ability is rock solid too! He has impressed the whole world with his two fantastic goals in the recent world cup against two very good defensive teams - France and Argentina. Javier is gonna get "Chicarito" written behind his United shirt. Chicharito was named to be the fastest player in this year's World Cup at a whooping average running speed of 32.15 Km/hr. Now that's a hard average to maintain, hope it only goes higher while he is at Old Trafford.

And No wonder he scored two magnificent goals in the World Cup, you can have a look here:

Mexico 2-0 France

Chicarito scores a nice 2nd goal

Mexico 1-3 Argentina

That one went like a rocket and had everyone talking after the game

Here are what other players had to say about him

Sir Bobby Charlton says he is "extremely excited" to see him play with the Reds

Sir Alex Ferguson - "The kid will be lasting my legacy".. Now such words don't come so often do they!

John O'Shea - Chicharito would be Manchester Unied's Wild Card!

Assistant Coach Mike Phelan - "He'll be a valuable addition"

All I have to say is, Berbatov! you better watch out and pull your socks because this kid will make your life tougher at Old Trafford, no wonder you got your own class!

Anyway, Glory Glory
