Former Liverpool, United stars in Hanoi for friendly matches

Former players of English Premier League clubs Liverpool and Manchester United arrived in Hanoi Wednesday for a friendly tournament.

At the Masters Cup on Thursday and Friday, they will play Vietnam’s former stars like Huynh Duc, Hong Son, Cong Minh and Minh Chien.


Among the ex-stars were Steve McManaman who used to play as midfielder for Liverpool and then Spain’s La Liga club Real Madrid; and Andy Cole who was a striker for United.

Cole was a bit quiet and went from the plane straight to the bus while McManaman obliged several fans with his autograph.

Along with Cole were former United teammates like Ronny Johnsen, David May and Jesper Blomqvist who helped United earn a treble (FA Cup, Premier League and European Champions League titles) in 1999.
