While United edged past Bayern with two late goals in Barcelona back in 1999, the scoreline was far wider this time around, as efforts from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Yorke, Nicky Butt, Louis Saha and Beckham earned them a 5-0 victory.One United legend who was struggling to hit the target was Sky Sports pundit Neville, who showed his lack of prowess in front of goal, firing wide when well placed, leaving Ferguson and his assistant Steve McClaren laughing on the bench. The right-back, who netted seven times in 602 appearances for United, spoke about his lack of fitness and what his former manager told him after the match.“You couldnt shoot 20 years ago son! Why the hell you trying today?” Neville wrote on Instagram.Were finished physically to be honest with you, you watch the lads in the Premier League and theyre amazing, he told BT Sport.I watch them every week and you feel how far you are away.My mind knows what to do but my body isnt taking me there and thats why were all retired.Its brilliant to be out here, weve raised a lot of money for Uniteds foundation, they do a lot of work with young kids who need an opportunity in life and thats the most important thing.It was worth coming just to be in the changing room pre-match.I was happy with the goal at the end for David [Beckham] and Nickys [Butt] goal too.
