Man U to Host Live Fan Events

The "United: Live" events will take place across Thailand, Indonesia, South Africa and China and encompass two new programs: Football Festival and Red vs. Red.

Football Festival. The event will take place in Bangkok, Jakarta and Beijing and will be a multi-zone football and entertainment experience. The full day event will feature exclusive, live screenings of "The Greatest Story Ever Told" (an interactive experience that examines the history of the club), live music acts, Manchester United Soccer Schools events, live Q&A sessions and club partner fan zones.

Red vs. Red, which will take place in Bangkok, Johannesburg and Beijing, will see two of the club's players go head to head against each other, captaining opposing teams in a battle of skill and agility. 

"'United: Live' is the latest example

Tickets to the events are free via an application process on the Manchester United website. Fans can apply now through Nov. 30 and will notified if they have been selected two weeks before each event.

The first "United:Live" is set to take place in Bangkok on Dec. 13 and 14, with the inaugural Football Festival and Red vs. Red match, featuring Andy Cole and Ronny Johnsen.
