Manchester United will play a European all-star team in March to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome.

Marcello Lippi, who guided Italy to its World Cup triumph in Germany, will coach the European team which could include former Red Devils midfielder David Beckham in the March 13 game at Old Trafford.

Although the game is to mark the anniversary of the treaty that led to the formation of the European Union, Manchester United also wants it to commemorate the club's 50 years in European competition.

Details of the game were announced Saturday after United's 3-1 win over neighbour Manchester City.
