Manchester United V Leeds United

Croke Park has been confirmed as the venue for an August 12th friendly between Manchester United and Leeds United.

Both clubs officially announced the match on Wednesday, with tickets first going on sale to season ticket holders, then on general release on Friday.

The game is subject to Leeds retaining their Premier League place and not qualifying for the Community Shield via the FA Cup. They play West Ham next Sunday in the quarter-finals.

It will be the first soccer fixture played at Croke Park since 2009, when the Republic of Ireland faced France in a World Cup play-off in front of 79,000 fans. And it will be the first club soccer fixture played at GAA HQ.
