Ferguson quips: Man Utd are bringing Keane to mark NYRB's Henry

New York Red Bulls striker Thierry Henry better be careful if he is selected for the MLS All-Stars side this summer.

The Frenchman is likely to be included in the team which takes on Manchester United in July but the Red Devils boss, Sir Alex Ferguson, says that he will meet his match.

Fergie quipped that he was set to bring back former United hardman Roy Keane to take on Henry at the Red Bull Arena for the much-anticipated meeting.

"We have a special plan to sort Henry out. I'm bringing Roy Keane back," Ferguson said.

There was also some other banter between the two big names of the game with Henry revealing that Fergie was raving about the impressive Red Bull Arena.

"He was more than amazed with the stadium. As he said, the most important thing is that this stadium is a football stadium," said Henry, who believes the match will be a complete success.

"It is a great one, so hopefully people are going to come and see the game and see Man United coming into town and hopefully we can have a good one."
