Manchester United celebrated the 20th anniversary of their triumph at Treble in 1999, with Bayern Munich Legends winning at Old Trafford.
Current United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – his hero at the Camp Nou two decades ago – opened the scoring in the fifth minute before Dwight Yorke took home a volley.
Nicky Butt and Louis Saha scored in the second half, before David Beckham scored an excellent fifth in front of a crowd that was amused by the day's nostalgia with Sir Alex Ferguson back on the bench as coach.

At age 44, Beckham still looked very well placed on the right wing effortlessly producing the deliveries that were so important to United's success on three fronts 20 years ago with his beautiful goal alone delaying a perfect afternoon.
At the other extreme, Jaap Stam continued to make no prisoners as he did throughout his career, breaking Ivica Olic with a great challenge in the first half.
The Bayern players simply beat the Dutchman in the afternoon – offering United fans a glimpse of what the current team lacks in the back in their current incarnation.
Paul Scholes, who missed the 1999 final through suspension, also appeared.

This is pretty much the perfect way to round things out – Beckham with a solo goal to make 5-0.
Neville was screaming for a cross on the far pole.
That would never happen.

That's 3-0 and there's definitely no way back for Bayern – who never seemed to have done it, in all fairness.
You have the feeling that Beckham is desperate to get on the scoresheet.
He is demanding every free shot around the box and is not showing signs of leaving after 80 minutes on the field.
Meanwhile, May seems to be playing in a No10 position.

67 mins | Gary Neville really should be passing by when the ball breaks for him in the box. But you can not blame him for going to the goal again – with that effort whistling.
Jaap Stam's menacing afternoon is over – Wes Brown must replace him.

62 mins | The Bayern players are literally bouncing off Jaap Stam as they try to take the ball from him. Too big and too strong, he shows that he can still play, without straying from danger in the depths of his own half.
