Sir Alex Ferguson set to manage Man United in repeat of 1999 Champions League final

Sir Alex Ferguson is poised to reprise his role as Manchester United manager in a repeat of the iconic 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich in May.

The Nou Camp 20 years ago played host to one of the most famous nights in United's steeped history when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, now in the post which Ferguson held for 26 years, turned home a stunning winner to secure a stunning treble.

And now, according to The Sun, United are trying to organise a reboot of that tie, which United eventually won 2-1, on May 26 this year – exactly 20 years to the day.
