Masters Football is all set to organise its first tour of India. Arsenal Masters will take on Manchester United Masters at the Cooperage in Mumbai (June 4) and Goa (June 7). Both teams will feature five former first team players. The organisers, Indo-Global Foundation, are working out the modalities. It is not known who will make up the numbers. After all, you need at least 22 players to start a game. Who knows, a few Bollywood stars could join the mix. Both exhibition games will be ticketed events.

The United team will be made up mostly of the famed 'Class of 1992'. But hang on, David Beckham won't make the trip.

The Indo-Global Foundation is a trust formed by passionate football lovers. Most of them are based abroad. Saurav Chakraborty is the chief manager of the trust. So what prompted the organisers to stage an Arsenal-United game. Well, isn't it obvious? These clubs have the biggest fan following in India.
