Man Utd confirm Sir Alex Ferguson to return as manager for special 1999 reunion match

Manchester United have confirmed that Sir Alex Ferguson will return to the dugout for a special reunion match to mark the 20th anniversary of the club's treble-winning campaign.

A Manchester United Legends side - managed by their legendary Scotsman - will play Bayern Munich Legends at Old Trafford on May 26 in a repeat of their famous 2-1 Champions League final comeback win that sealed their third major trophy of the 1998-99 season.

The funds raised will go towards charity via the Manchester United Foundation.

The treble-winning side lost just three times in the 1998-99 Premier League - away to Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday and at home to Middlesborough - and were unbeaten after Boxing Day en route to beating the Gunners to the title by one point.
