The day-long festival will offer a jam-packed day of football and entertainment, including a special screening of a biopic on the club: The Greatest Story Ever Told.
The day's activities will build up to a live screening of United's final game of the season, away to Hull City, where fans can experience the excitement of cheering on their team alongside thousands of other fans.
Silvestre will be on hand at Military Zone 7 Stadium to share some stories about his time with the club. He'll also provide pre- and post-match analysis.
During his nearly years at Old Trafford, the French defender won five league champion trophies. Before moving to Arsenal in 2008 he bagged the Champions League title in Moscow. Silvestre made 366 appearances for United, scoring 10 goals.
He also won the League Cup, FA Community Shield and Intercontinental Cup.

"We have close to 26.5 million followers in the country and this event is our way of thanking these fans for their commitment and support.
