Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to play for Man Utd Legends vs Bayern at Old Trafford

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take to the Old Trafford pitch as a player once again this summer as the club celebrates the 20th anniversary of their treble triumph.

Named permanent boss on a three-year deal on Thursday, the Norwegian has now been confirmed as part of the Man Utd Legends squad taking on Bayern Munich Legends on May 26.

Solskjaer's stoppage-time goal sealed victory in the Champions League final at the Nou Camp in 1999, with the match raising funds for the Manchester United Foundation.

"I am delighted to be part of this very special reunion," he said. "Over the coming weeks I will be training hard to make sure the boss has me in the starting XI this time around!

"In all seriousness, it will be a great match and a chance to catch up with some old team-mates, whilst raising vital funds for our Foundation."
