Manchester United game sells out

Sir Alex Ferguson
Sir Alex and Manchester United won the Champions League

Tickets for Manchester United's game against Aberdeen at Pittodrie have sold out.

Sir Alex Ferguson - who managed Aberdeen from 1978 to 1986 - is bringing the Premiership giants to the city on Saturday 12 July.

The game will mark the 25th anniversary of the Dons winning the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1983.

Tickets went on sale on Monday for the tie against this year's Champions League winners.

It will be a highlight of a series of testimonial events to honour the victory.

Sir Alex led Aberdeen to three Scottish championships, four Scottish Cups, one League Cup, the Cup Winners' Cup and the European Super Cup.
