Robson, widely regarded as being one of United and England’s greatest ever players, will be gracing the Edge Green Street arena for a fixture for which even Sir Alex Ferguson has added his support.

But the Latics side, led by Emmerson Boyce and Arjan de Zeeuw, will be determined to see off the challenge.

Pre-sales have smashed previous records for this fixture, and fans wishing to pay on the gate (£10 adults, £5 concessions) are advised to get there early or risk disappointment.

All funds will go towards research into NKH, the rare genetic disorder from which Joseph Kendrick – Latics’ lucky mascot at the 2013 FA Cup final – suffers.

Kick-off is 3pm.
