Alex Ferguson and David Beckham to reunite for Manchester United again

SportsJOE

Remember 1999? Ah, you do.

United had a bit of success that season and, 17 years on, a whole bunch of them are about to reunite.

David Beckham and Alex Ferguson have reportedly signed up for a Manchester United legends match in Sydney that will take place in October or November.

The Sydney Morning Herald have claimed that the two-time Champions League winning manager will lead his old boys out in a friendly with Juventus and that a number of past stars will return to represent the red shirt again.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Roy Keane, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs

It’s being reported that Beckham will be joined by the likes of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ryan Giggs, and Dwight Yorke.

Juve are going to get the best of United’s past superstars – and Phil Neville.

The Italians meanwhile are said to be boasting their own heroes for the clash. Recent legends games have seen the Turin outfit field Edgar Davids, Mauro Camoranesi, Paolo Montero, and Angelo Peruzzi.

Details are still to be confirmed but, until we hear the name Roy Keane, we’re not that interested. United and Juventus needs Roy Keane. The Juve lads might not show up though.
