    David Beckham returns to Manchester United to take on Ronaldinho and World XI in charity match at Old Trafford

    For an instant, it was 1999 all over again. David Beckham swung in a cross with meticulous accuracy. Paul Scholes, belying his comparatively short stature with a wonderful natural leap, timed his header perfectly. The ball nestled in the net. Sir Alex Ferguson grinned in the Old Trafford dugout.

    David Beckham and son Brooklyn play together in charity match

    Beckham was replaced by his 16-year-old son towards the end of the match, but came back on because of an injury to Sol Campbell.

    "I wasn't meant to join him but Sol came off," he said. "Having Brooklyn out there was special.

    "One of my lasting memories is winning the title and walking around with Brooklyn when he was 18 months."

    Money raised from ticket sales for the match will be donated to children's charity Unicef.

    "It was incredible," said Beckham. "I'm very proud of what we achieved. It's been a special day."
