Former Barcelona Star Amuneke Rules Himself Out Of Manchester United Clash
Published: June 20, 2017
Retired Nigeria international Emmanuel Amuneke says he won't be available for selection when his former team Barcelona tackle Manchester United Legends in a charity game at the Camp Nou on Friday, June 30.
Barcelona Legends coach Jose Mari Bakero can count on the services of Edmílson, Giuly, Belletti, Mendieta, Julio Salinas and Goikoetxea, among others for the game against the Red Devils.
Amuneke has explained that he can't participate in the game because he is in Nigeria at the moment.
''It is not that they didn't invite me for the game against Manchester United, I am in Nigeria now, I will not be available so I can't play,'' Emmanuel Amuneke told allnigeriasoccer.com when asked to confirm his participation.
Now 46, Amuneke was the first Nigerian player to represent the Blaugrana when he signed from Sporting CP in January 1997, and made nineteen league appearances for the club, scoring one goal.
Meanwhile, ex-Manchester United stars Blomqvist, Fortune, Poborsky, Scholes, Phil Neville, Silvestre and Dwight Yorke have confirmed they will be part of the match.
