Sir Alex Ferguson, David Beckham to reunite for charity match at Old Trafford

Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will reunite with ex-player David Beckham for a charity match at Old Trafford next month.

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson and ex-player David Beckham will reunite for a charity match held at Old Trafford next month.

Ferguson's relationship with Beckham turned sour in 2003, and in the Scotsman's autobiography he claimed that the former England captain thought that he was "bigger than the manager".

Beckham left United later that year to join Real Madrid, but in November, the 40-year-old will turn back the clock to play under Ferguson once again as captain of a Great Britain and Ireland XI.

Ferguson, who retired from management in 2013, will return to the Old Trafford dugout for the match, while ex-Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti will take charge of a World XI.

Beckham, who is a global ambassador for UNICEF, wrote on Instagram: "I never thought that I would be putting my boots back on but it's for a great cause, the incredible work of @unicef for children.

"I'm honoured to be playing at Old Trafford again, captaining a Great Britain & Ireland team managed by the great Sir Alex Ferguson against a Rest of the World side captained by my friend @zidane and managed by the legend, @mrancelotti I hope to see you there @manchesterunited on November 14th."

Former FIFA referee Pierluigi Collina will officiate the match.
