Former Manchester United stars Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Gary and Phil Neville, playing in a “Class of 92 and Friends” team, suffered a 5-1 loss Thursday against a club they own.
Non-league Salford City, purchased by the former Premier League stars last year, put their famous visitors in their place although a series of pitch invasions put a dampener on the occasion.
The star-studded team also featured former United players from different eras such as Robbie Savage, John O’Kane, Raimond van der Gouw, Mikael Silvestre and Quinton Fortune.
Ex-England cricketers Michael Vaughan and Steve Harmison and other former United players in Tomasz Kuszczak, David May, Ben Thornley and Danny Webber all played in the second half. Giggs pulled a goal back just before the interval from the penalty spot, but Salford added further goals from Phil Marsh and substitutes.
