Schmeichel and his defence announced for Treble Reunion

Peter Schmeichel will lead the backline as he takes his position between the sticks once again, and has strong support from his former team-mates, including Jaap Stam, Gary Neville and Denis Irwin.

Ronny Johnsen, Phil Neville, Wes Brown and David May make up the full options in defence for manager Sir Alex Ferguson, with Raimond van der Gouw returning as Schmeichel’s No2.

Schmeichel, of course, captained the side in the Nou Camp when Bayern were defeated 2-1 in the Champions League final to complete the Treble - his final appearance for the club.

“I’m really looking forward to the occasion at Old Trafford,” said the Danish legend.
