David Beckham looked absolutely delighted to be back on the Old Trafford pitch for Sunday's Treble Reunion match.

Beckham, 44, was a cut above from the very start on the right flank, with the former England captain in good shape and delivering some teasing crosses.

With Gary Neville overlapping Beckham on the right flank, it took United fans back to those heady days of the 1998-99 campaign.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - who scored the opening goal of the Treble Reunion, 20 years to the day since winning the Champions League Final with an outstretched right boot in Barcelona - is now the United boss, and has struggled to find reliable options on the right flank.
