Manchester United rolled out the red carpet at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon to welcome back some of the club's most famous faces of the past.

Hosted by the Manchester United Foundation, a United Legends XI went head-to-head with a Celtic Legends XI in M16. Played in good spirits, an excellent time was had by all, even if it resulted in Celtic winning the trophy that was up for grabs via penalties.

Wayne Rooney, who raised the volume of the crowd every time he got on the ball, scored the game's opening goal, bending home a brilliant free-kick before half-time.

Celtic responded after the break, taking the contest to a penalty shootout after Gary Hooper tapped home an equaliser.
