Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to play at Old Trafford in Manchester United Legends match
Newly appointed as United's permanent manager, Solskjaer will feature in the side that takes on Bayern Munich Legends on 26 May
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will play at Old Trafford this May 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 Manchester United Legends squad taking on Bayern Munich Legends on 26 May.
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.”
