Legends matches: The recent history

2019: UNITED 5 BAYERN MUNICH 0

Precisely 20 years on from the most famous night in the history of this football club, the Champions League winners of 1999 faced up against Bayern Munich’s finest, with Lothar Matthaus, Stefan Effenberg and Giovane Elber among those representing the Germans. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was on the scoresheet once again, although this time his strike came right at the start of the match. Sir Alex Ferguson’s side benefited from a late flurry of goals, as the 61,175 fans in attendance were afforded a little more comfort than those who were there on that glorious night in Barcelona!

Scorers: Solskjaer 5, Yorke 30, Butt 79, Saha 85, Beckham 90.

United squad: Schmeichel, van der Gouw, Pilkington; G. Neville, Stam, Brown, Johnsen, Berg, Irwin, Silvestre, May; Beckham, Butt, Scholes, Greening, Blomqvist, Poborsky; Yorke, Saha, Cole, Solskjaer, Sheringham.
