Sir Alex Ferguson will also return to the dugout for this special match at Old Trafford. After recovering from life-saving surgery to tackle a brain hemorrhage back in May, the 77-year old made his return to the stands in September, and has been a regular ever since

The event is on the 26 May - exactly 20 years till the day since United won the treble.

Solskjaer, who is now the permanent United manager, will join the likes of David Beckham and Ryan Giggs, among other heroes from the historic game.

It was confirmed on Friday afternoon that Teddy Sheringham, Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole have also been confirmed for the tie.

We can't wait for this one!

The event is for a good cause too. All proceeds will go towards the Manchester United Foundation charity"

"I'm really looking forward to what will be a special day at Old Trafford," Ferguson said.

"It will be great to catch up with some familiar faces and a great opportunity to support the work of Manchester United Foundation."

Sir Alex's first appearance at Old Trafford after his health scare came in September for the game against Wolves.

He was greeted to the most incredible reception.

Before kick-off the club encouraged fans attending the match to be in their seats for 14:45 BST and it made for a wonderful moment for all involved, especially Ferguson, who won 38 trophies during a remarkable 26 year spell at the club.
