The players gathered in the dressing room for a photo together before the match.

Starting on the left of the image, former Red Devils Eric Djemba-Djemba and Mikael Silvestre could be seen.

Wes Morgan, who never played for Man Utd and captained Leicester to their shock Premier League title, could be seen behind them.

He was standing next to Dimitar Berbatov.

Former Swansea star Nathan Dyer was pictured crouching in front.

Champions League winners Wes Brown and Dwight Yorke could then be seen behind them.

Next to them was another Champions League winner, only with Inter Milan rather than the Red Devils, and the third star to play despite not playing for Man Utd in their career, Julio Cesar.

Like Dyer, Danny Simpson could be seen crouching in front of the group.

Antonio Valencia could also be seen standing behind him.

Patrice Evra, Jesper Blomqvist – who wore a white shirt in the photo – and Juan Sebastian Veron were seen standing on the right of the image.

Valencia and Veron shared a picture together when in the dressing room which sent fans into a frenzy.

There were three other people who featured in the photo.

United in Focus reported one of the three to be called “Mo”, though their report stipulated they were unsure who he was.

The identity of the other two players is also unclear.

The match itself did not go to plan, with Man Utd legends losing 8-3 in the Legends Football League match.

Berbatov and Evra both got on the scoresheet for Man Utd but it was not enough to overcome the considerable talents of opponents World XI.

The team featured players such as Florent Malouda, David Trezeguet, Samir Nasri, David James, Robert Huth, Bacary Sagna and Clarence Seedorf who won the man of the match award.

However, some fans were furious at event organisers due to three legends, Kaka, Didier Drogba and Roberto Carlos not turning up.

General fan feedback has also seen fans slam the event for being unorganised.

Fixtures in the new competition are 90 minutes long.

Teams are allowed to call on “Impact Players” where a current player or celebrity could feature.

The League is now due to go all over the world and will resume in India in January after its debut in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, last weekend.
