This year, the Red Devils will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their treble win – Goal takes a look at their historic side
It was 20 years ago when Manchester United clinched their historic treble, winning the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup trifecta under the heroics of Sir Alex Ferguson in 1999.
To celebrate the feat, Ferguson will return to the dugout for a special reunion match to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the treble-winning campaign to manage a United Legends side against a Bayern Munich Legends team at Old Trafford on May 26.
The match will be a repeat of United's famous 2-1 Champions League comeback win, with the funds going to charity. Goal marks the occasion by rounding up the players who made up the victorious team.

Manchester United's most iconic goalkeeper (that includes you, David de Gea) celebrated his final appearance for the Red Devils in the best way possible – by lifting the Champions League trophy in 1999.
The victory cemented his legacy at Old Trafford, wrapping up seven seasons in Manchester that included winning the Premier League an incredible five times.

Nobody wants to grow up to be a Gary Neville – two Champions League trophies and eight Premier League titles aside, of course. Former club captain Neville has been heralded as one of the greatest right-backs in English football, and his legacy as a Red Devil continues to live on.
Nowadays, you can catch him as a pundit on Sky Sports, if he isn't busy owning a football club or managing another.

Johnsen was always an underappreciated hero under Ferguson, used mainly as a replacement when positions in midfeld and defense needed to be filled.
After six seasons at Old Trafford where he picked up three Premiership titles in addition to the Champions League trophy, the Norwegian moved on to Aston Villa and Newcastle.
