Bayern must've stipulated that Sheringham and Solskjaer are not allowed to show their faces.

But United are still unravelling a host of Champions League winners for their legends game with the Germans. The 1999 European final clash will be revived at Old Trafford on June 14 for the Manchester United Foundation and it's shaping up nicely with a number of big names already confirmed to show out for both teams, the Manchester Evening News have reported. United's deadly attack at the end of last century, Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole, will be kitting out for the hosts again whilst Edwin van der Sar will man the goals with the iconic figure of Jaap Staam in front of him. Owen Hargreaves has committed to play a half for United. And not just because that's all the ancient 34-year-old can muster nowadays. It's because he reckons he can get another half out of himself to turn out for Bayern too with whom he spent seven senior years. Bit ambitious The visitors will also be boasting Didi Hamaan, Giovane Elber and Mark van Bommel for what looks to be an appetising stroll down memory lane. Mr Djemba (so bad we're not naming him twice) can wait by the phone all he likes.
