HA NOI (VNS) — Former Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke will make a second visit to Viet Nam on December 15.

The Trinidad and Tobago player will interact with fans during the "Game on with Manchester United Ambassador" event in Lao Cai Province.

The 44-year-old legend will share his memories of the time he spent with the Premier League giant in the 1998-2002 period.

He will also take part in different activities being organised on the occasion there.

Last year, Yorke visited HCM City to participate in a street football tournament that lured more than 200 local teams.

Yorke joined Manchester United in 1998 and became one of the key players who won a historic triple title in the 1998-99 season.

He was once voted the best scorer of the year with 18 goals.

Together with Andy Cole, the duo dominated the Premier League for three seasons in a row from 1998 to 2001.

Yorke played 188 matches and scored 64 goals during his four years with Manchester United.

He was made the team's ambassador after he retired. He often takes part in the Red Devils' activities across the world. — VNS
