Man United 'legends' team boasted three players who never played for the club

talksport.com, 23 November 2023, 18:42
A Manchester United legends team that took on a World XI last Saturday fielded three players who never played for the club.

United's representatives lined up in the dressing room for a pre and post match photo which was later shared on Instagram by former winger Antonio Valencia.

Ex-Red Devils midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba and Mikael Silvestre featured on the left side of the image with Leicester City's title-winning captain Wes Morgan bizarrely placed behind them.

Morgan, who never played for United, was stood next to Dimitar Berbatov with another player who never wore the famous red shirt, Nathan Dyer, crouching in front.

Former players Wes Brown and Dwight Yorke were also seen on the picture next to former Inter Milan and Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar who was the third player who never featured for the club.

Former United defender Danny Simpson who won the Premier League title alongside Dyer and Morgan crouched at the front of the group with Valencia standing behind him.

Also spotted were Patrice Evra, Jesper Blomqvist and Juan Sebastian Veron on the right of the image.

The match did not go the way of United as they were beaten 8-3 in the Legends Football League clash.

Berbatov showed he still had the magic touch in front of goal and Evra added another of his own but it was not enough to see off a talented World XI.

The Red Devils' opponents consisted of Florent Malouda, David Trezeguet, Samir Nasri, David James, Robert Huth, Bacary Sagna and man-of-the-match Clarence Seedorf.
