It was bound to happen. After two years and two one-sided victories brothers James and Phil Younghusband will settle their rivalry one final time at the Clear Dream Match 3 scheduled on June 7.
In the first ever Clear Dream Match, Phil Younghusband won over his older brother with a dominant 5-1 victory. The following year, James Younghusband exacted his revenge, defeating Team Phil 4 – 1.
With the brothers now tied at 1 – 1, the game is further intensified with the addition of two Manchester United Legends, Paul Scholes and Andy Cole who are experienced in settling highly contested rivalries in English football history.
Manchester United Legends
Andrew “Andy” Cole has won numerous trophies with Manchester United and is the second highest goal scorer in Premier league history. Cole is one of the few players to date who has bagged all possible honors in the English game, including the PFA Young Player of the Year and the UEFA Champions League title.
Cited as one of the best midfielders of his generation, Paul Scholes has made over 700 appearances for Manchester United and has the third-highest number of appearances by any player for the club. Scholes played a key part in the club’s Treble-winning success in the 1998–99 season, and has won 11 Premier League, three FA Cup and two UEFA Champions League winners medals.
Taking on the challenge of growing football in the Philippines, Clear, the No. 1 Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Men, partnered with Manchester United and the United Football League. Given the partnerships, Clear Brand Manager Drew Copuyoc said, “Clear Dream Match 3 will be the most competitive game yet, as only the best football players in the Philippines will get to participate.
