Fraizer Campbell and Phil Bardsley both notch braces as Red Devils win eight-goal thriller at St Mary’s

Southampton vs Manchester United Legends LIVE!

A team of Manchester United legends beat Southampton 5-3 at St Mary’s. Saturday’s friendly fixture on the south coast was a special anniversary charity match to mark 50 years since the famous 1976 FA Cup final, when the second-tier Saints stunned heavy favourites United 1-0 at the old Wembley Stadium thanks to a contentious second-half goal from the late Bobby Stokes.

It remains the only major trophy ever won by Southampton and their most famous day. Dimitar Berbatov, Louis Saha and Antonio Valencia were just some of the former United favourites in action, with Saha going off injured early and Berbatov having a penalty saved, while Southampton’s squad list included the likes of player-manager Matt Le Tissier, Francis Benali and Rickie Lambert.

It was an action-packed contest, with substitute Fraizer Campbell and Phil Bardsley both scoring twice for United and Danny Webber also on target in an eight-goal thriller that was level at 1-1 at the interval. Follow Southampton vs Manchester United Legends live below!
