Manchester United vs Swansea in the English Premier League on Sunday would have held absolutely no significance whatsoever, with both sides left with nothing to play for in the season.
However, one blockbuster announcement on Wednesday has turned the entire game on it head and now and forever this game will be remembered as Sir Alex Ferguson's final match at Old Trafford as the manager of Manchester United.
The 90 minutes on the pitch will take a backseat; the result will not matter. Yet there will be so many emotions flying around the famous ground that you might need to loan a few of them from elsewhere just to keep up with the mood of the day.
Ferguson is synonymous with United. For most of the younger audience that grew up watching the English Premier League, they only know of a Manchester United that involves Ferguson.
The fact that the legendary manager will be in the dugout at Old Trafford for the final time in his career after 27 glorious years, is a monumental occasion.
Ferguson will of course have the final game of the season - his 1500th for the club - at West Brom next weekend. However, this match against Swansea will be much more emotional, with it being his final game in front of the Old Trafford faithful.
He is going out on a high, after sealing United's 20th league title - the 13th during his reign - and while it will be a sad day, it will also be a game to celebrate.
United players might be overcome by emotions, but then they will face a Swansea side who will want to etch their own names in history - as the club that beat Ferguson's United in his final home game.
Swansea, though, will have to do without goalkeeper Michel Vorm and defender Angel Rangel, although striker Michu could be in for a surprise return, just a week after Michael Laudrup ruled him out for the rest of the season, along with Chico Flores.
"It seemed like he would go on and on," Laudrup said. "But this came out of the blue and caught us all by surprise a little.
"To leave after winning the league title once more is a great way to go out, but what makes it so special is that Sunday will be his last home game in charge and I'm proud to be the opponent."
It will be interesting to see what kind of lineup Ferguson puts out Sunday. The likes of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, who have been on this journey with him for two decades, might be given a chance from the beginning.
Ashley Young is ruled out while Rafael missed the rest of the season through suspension after his red card against David Luiz.
Robin Van Persie, his gift to himself at the start of the season to ensure the Premier League title would end up with United, will have another chance to shine, although doubts remain whether Wayne Rooney will be played at all, let alone from the start, after the forward reportedly made his intentions clear of wanting to leave Old Trafford in the summer transfer window.
"I am really sad to hear that the manager is retiring," Van Persie posted on his official Facebook account. "But I'm really happy I have had the opportunity and the honor to work with him.
"He is a great manager and, above all, an even greater person. I have to thank him for an amazing year and for making my dream come true by winning the league.
"I wish him and his family the very best."
One thing is for sure, while the result will not matter too much in the end, Ferguson will settle for nothing but the best from his side, and the touchline celebrations and rants will continue until the referee blows the final whistle - ironically and fittingly in 'Fergie time' for one final time.
Expected lineups: Manchester United: De Gea; Jones, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Scholes, Giggs; Van Persie, Hernandez.
Swansea: Tremmel; Tiendalli, Flores, Williams, Davies; Britton, De Guzman; Hernandez, Dyer, Routledge; Michu.
Prediction: 4-2 to Manchester United
