Sydney FC stars Rhyan Grant and Pedj Bojic are the latest Sky Blues names to be called into the Foxtel A-League All Stars squad to take on Manchester United next Saturday evening (July 20).
The pair join marquee Brett Emerton, meaning three Sydney FC players are now set to feature for the A-League elite against the English Premier League Champions.
The selection of Grant caps a remarkable few months for the Sydney FC A-League Players- Player of the Year, who earned a new 2 year contract with the club after some man of the match performances last season.
“It-s a massive honour not only to be in the All Stars but also to have the chance to play against one of the biggest club-s in the world,” said the 22 year old.
“Not many people get the chance to play against Manchester United and hopefully I-ll get a bit of game time.
“It doesn-t matter who they (Manchester United) put out on the park, it-s going to be an unreal team and to play against the likes of Van Persie and Nani is going to massive and something I-m looking forward to.
“It-s going to be a good clash and pretty hard to call I think.”
The Sky Blues players and their A-League counterparts will line up in front of a capacity 80,000 crowd at ANZ Stadium, an experience Bojic is looking forward to.
“It feels amazing,” he said. “To line up against Manchester United, the biggest club in the world, is like a dream come true.
“The hype around it is amazing and I just can-t wait to get out there, it-s going to be a brilliant atmosphere.”
Bojic also believes the All Stars can provide the three-time European Champions a good test.
“It-s going to be a tough game but we-re up for it,” he added.
“I guess the whole point of it is to showcase the A-League to Australia and the World and show what Australian footballers can do.”
The Foxtel A-League All Stars will debut against Manchester United at ANZ Stadium, Sydney, on 20 July with the match to be broadcast live and exclusive on the Seven Network nationally.
