The Red Devils face the Italians again in the Europa League but it is unlikely to be as one-sided this time.

But what happened to the players beaten by United? Where is the Milan team that were walloped by Sir Alex Ferguson’s side?

Christian Abbiati

The goalkeeper was considered of the best shot stoppers in Italy and went on to have loan spells with Juventus and Atletico Madrid.

Abbiati rejoined Milan as club manager in 2017, providing a link between the team and the board. But he left after just one year back at the Italian giants.

Marek Jankulovski

The Czech left-back spent six years at Milan before returning to his homeland to play for Banik Ostrava.

Jankulovski was forced to retire two years after the United tie after failing to recover from a knee injury.

Daniele Bonera

The defender ended his playing career in Spain after a move to Villarreal.

Bonera returned to Milan as an assistant coach in 2019. He stepped up to act as interim head coach when Stefano Pioli tested positive for Covid-19.

Thiago Silva

Thiago Silva has shown no sign of hanging up his boots and is enjoying life in England after joining Chelsea last year.

The 36-year-old Brazilian moved to Paris Saint-Germain after leaving Milan and was a huge success in France.

Thiago Silva led PSG to the final of last season’s Champions League before deciding to move to the Premier League.

Ignazio Abate

The defender spent most of his career at Milan and made an emotional final appearance in 2019.

Abate then returned to his beloved Milan to work in the club’s youth academy.

Massimo Ambrosini

Ambrosini enjoyed a long career at Milan which also helped earn him recognition for Italy.

After the midfielder’s retirement he opted to pursue a media career and is a pundit and commentator for Sky Sport Italia.

Andrea Pirlo

Pirlo enjoyed an illustrious career as a world class midfielder for Milan and Juventus.

The 41-year-old launched his managerial career with Juventus this season but he is under pressure with the champions third in Italy and knocked out of the Champions League by Porto.

Mathieu Flamini 

The French midfielder had two spells at Arsenal either side of his time at Milan.

Flamini ended his time on the pitch in Spain at Getafe before moving into a business career.

The former Manchester United and England star played for Milan on loan before ending his playing career at Paris Saint-Germain.

Beckham has now turned his attention towards achieving success with Inter Miami as their owner.

The World Cup winner retired in 2018 and was placed under house arrest last year after a fake passport scandal.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar

The Dutch striker only spent one year at Milan before moving to Germany to play for Schalke.

Huntelaar played for Ajax before rejoining Schalke until the end of this season. The 37-year-old has made one league appearance since returning to Germany.
