The statue commemorating Edwards life, created by sculptor James Butler, was unveiled in the town centre of his hometown of Dudley in October 1999 by his mother and Sir Bobby Charlton.

And yesterday it bore a United shirt with the message 'Legend - not forgotten'.

Tomorrow see's the return of the legend that is "Roy Keane"

Bringing with him Sunderland, who have not had that good a start this season, hoping for a result against his old boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

He will be welcomed as one of the old United legends, his service to United was never in doubt,a totally loyal and committed player, who has been hard to replace.

Should be a good day at Old Trafford, the first time "Keano" has been back since he left, so you can hear those chants now "there's only one Keano", a mixed day of emotions for all concerned, Keano thinking and remembering what he left and wishing he could beat us tomorrow to set himself up for the season at Sunderland and of course United fans wishing him well but also wanting to beat his team for the much needed points.

Also on the same day we say goodbye to another United great, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, so I guess tomorow is a day of goodbyes and welcomes at the same time, we shall miss him as a player but he will at least be staying on as an Ambassador for United, taking on some of the responsibilties of Sir Bobby Charlton and also teaching some of the new guys how to find that goal on the training field.

Whatever your reason for visiting Old Trafford tomorrow, whether you are a United fan or Sunderland, you can definitely say, it was a day to remember.

Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to announce his retirement from football on Tuesday.
The 34-year-old Norwegian has been plagued by a series of knee injuries.

Solskjaer, who scored the winner in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich in 1999, made several comebacks in the past four years.

Solskjaer joined United from Molde for £1.5m in 1996 and has the former Norway international has made 366 appearances for United, scoring 126 goals.

The striker scored 11 goals as the Red Devils reclaimed their Premier League crown last season.

Solskjaer's last game for Sir Alex Ferguson's side was the FA Cup final defeat to Chelsea on 19 May 19 when he came on as an extra-time substitute at Wembley.

He has already spent time at United coaching young players and was appointed a club ambassador last year.

The retirement of Solskjaer leaves Ferguson with only three strikers - Wayne Rooney, Louis Saha and Carlos Tevez - the latter being the only one presently fully fit.

Ferguson has been linked with a move for Bolton's Nicolas Anelka and Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov, although the latter has insisted his immediate future lies at White Hart Lane.

United have sold fellow strikers Alan Smith to Newcastle and Giuseppe Rossi to Villarreal.

Tevez has also been included in Argentina's squad for the friendly against Australia in Melbourne next month, which could further stretch Ferguson's resources.

Saha, whose own United career has been dogged by injury, had hoped to make his return against Spurs at the weekend but his comeback was aborted.

He is expected to be fit to face Sunderland at the weekend, but his persistent knee problems have proved a major cause of concern.

Solskjaer returned to fitness last term, and was hopeful of playing a meaningful role this season, despite undergoing minor knee surgery in June.

But he has had problems during his rehabilitation and recently admitted he fully expected this to be his last season.

Now the announcement that one of Old Trafford's most popular figures is quitting the game has been brought forward.

Just out of curiousity for an article I am doing research on, just wondered why you are a United fan?

What made you choose them, was it cos your family have always been fans or something else.

Is it the players, is it cos of the pure class in their play?

Is it something in your blood?

Whatever it is would you please let me know.

Thanks in anticipation of your replies, if there are any.

I think if we are all honest, most of the United faithful are a bit pissed off with this whole Tevez drama that keeps getting more and more complicated as the weeks go by.

Alan Curbishley said the one true thing to come out of West Ham in recent weeks, he wants an end to it all because "every day seems to be a Tevez day".

Probably just as well Man United are in Asia right now away from all the shit happening here, although it has to be said, none of this is United's fault, we approached the player in good faith and was told, yes we are interested by the Tevez camp, so the plan was hatched to try and get him at OT, all done in the right way, no under-handedness on United's part, then all hell breaks loose.

Now we have a situation that no one really wanted, the FA too shit scared to deal with this, in case it back fires on them because of the fine they imposed on West Ham, the FA are supposed to be the ruling body in this country and what they say should stand, so if West Ham still own Tevez, then surely any dealings must be made through that club and not the agent Jooribian, I think Man United should deal with WHU pay the fee, get Tevez at OT and then let Jooribian and WHU fight in out in the courts, whilst that is going on, Tevez could be playing for us next season, job done but I guess its not going to be that simple, too many factors to consider, too many people involved and now it seems a shit load of court cases to decide someones fate.

The outcome of all this though, could spark off a cry from the FIFA and the FA to change the laws allowing any agents owning any part of the player in the future, personally I think that would make life so much simpler, the player is either free to transfer or he isn't, just like it used to be, progress uh? who needs it?

A rather fucked off URA with this Tevez bollocks tonight.
