Facing Manchester United is always a scary prospect, but we'll have to really be on our guard on Saturday against a team looking to take out some frustration.
Teams like United are expected to win every match they play, and their loss to a Thai All Stars team on the weekend means they'll be fired up and ready to gain some redemption.

Not that I'm not worried. There's a really good buzz around the camp. Everyone's gelling really well and we'll go out there on the weekend and do the A-League proud. As a footballer these are the games you look forward to, testing yourself against the very best in the world in front of massive crowds. It doesn't get much bigger than the champions of England.
For me personally, it's extra special being named captain for the first ever A-League All Stars game. I've played against the Red Devils plenty of times during my time at Blackburn and I know what to expect.

It goes without saying that it's a tough ask. You go long periods of time without the ball so you need to be patient. They're a quality team and it's going to be a massive test for us.
I've actually scored a couple of goals against United but it would mean the world to me if I could get on the scoresheet against them in the town I grew up in.
I'm looking forward to grabbing a beer with my former teammate Robin van Persie after the game. He was only a young up-and-comer when we played together at Feyenoord, but you could always see his potential. I'm not surprised he's achieved what he has in football, especially in the last couple of seasons.

Matching up against players of his calibre is difficult to say the least. We haven't really spoken too much about how we'll stop him yet, but I'm sure we will.
There's been plenty of talk in camp around whose jerseys the boys want to swap with after the game. I've never been one for jersey swapping, but if I had to choose someone's, it would be Ryan Giggs. Growing up supporting Manchester United, he was an idol of mine. I'm not alone in wanting Giggsy's shirt, but as skipper I've pulled rank and told the boys to get in line.
In all seriousness, I'd be happy to keep my own jersey. It's the inaugural A-League All Stars game and my jersey will be special to me. It's going to be a special night.
