Facing one of the most daunting match-ups in MLS All-Star Game history, the MLS All-Star squad will be lead by the most accomplished coach in American soccer history.

MLS announced on Wednesday that LA Galaxy manager Bruce Arena has been named the head coach of the MLS All-Stars for their July 28 match-up against legendary English club Manchester United (8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and Telefutura).

Arena, the winningest coach in US national team history, will sit across from ManU counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson for the first time in his managerial career. Arena has coached an MLS All-Star team twice previously, in 1997 (Eastern Conference) and 1998 (MLS USA), and was the US coach when the MLS All-Stars took on the US national team in 2002.

The honor of coaching the MLS All-Stars goes to the head coach of the team with the highest points-per-game as of June 27. The Galaxy have dominated the 2010 MLS season, compiling 33 points of a possible 42 available in their 14 matches. Los Angeles leads the Western Conference by nine points over defending champions Real Salt Lake.

Arena will receive some assistance to fulfill his All-Star duties. Houston Dynamo manager Dominic Kinnear was named All-Star assistant coach and will fill in for Arena while the Galaxy face the Puerto Rico Islanders in the CONCACAF Champions League on July 27.

All-Star fan voting ends on July 6 with the starting XI announced one week later. (VOTE HERE)

The All-Star coaching staff will then select five additional players, who along with the two Commissioner picks, will form an 18-man roster to take on the mighty Red Devils.
