Manchester United are putting aside over £5 million to celebrate Sir Alex Ferguson's final year in the game.
Fergie, 66, has announced his intention to retire within the next three years and United's owners, the Glazer family, have asked to be involved in the year-long series of events.
There are initial plans for two games at Old Trafford against Aberdeen and Bayern Munich.
A United source said: "The club wants to do something which is befitting of him."
