Bradley to lead MLS side

LAFC head coach and former United States boss Bob Bradley will lead the MLS select side.

"As we celebrate our 25th season, we wanted to deliver an unique and unprecedented format for our annual All-Star Game," MLS commissioner Don Garber said in a statement.

"Our first ever game between the best of MLS and Liga MX’s top players is the perfect way to build on the growing relationship between the two top soccer leagues in the region."

For the past 15 years, MLS All-Stars have played touring European sides including Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid.

Their previous victory came with a 2-1 triumph against Tottenham in 2015.
