HA NOI — Football legends Denis Irwin and Gordon McQueen will arrive in HCM City today as part of their Asian tour.

Irwin was named as one of the games near-flawless defenders. He made over 500 appearances for United in an epic career, snaring silverware aplenty. McQueen was known as one of the bravest defenders with his no-nonsense defensive style and monstrous aerial prowess.

The duo is travelling with the club's 19th Premier League Trophy which they won last season and will be welcomed at the Intercontinental Hotel where Aon, the principal sponsor of Manchester United, is holding an event to showcase passion for football.

"It is our great pleasure to welcome the Manchester United legends to Viet Nam and get our clients' hands on the Premier League Trophy in our country," said Vu My Lan, CEO of Aon Viet Nam.

Aon, a risk management and insurance brokerage, became the principal shirt sponsor of Manchester United in 2010 under a four-year global contract. — VNS
