Man Utd Treble winner looks unrecognisable with huge beard as he poses enjoying a Christmas beer


MANCHESTER UNITED fans will find it difficult to recognise one treble winner from the iconic 1998/99 squad.

The former midfielder posed with a fellow reveller over the Christmas period as he celebrated the festivities with a beer.

The ex-Man Utd man made seven appearances in the campaign that ended with the club winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

He was an unused substitute in the European final against Bayern Munich and picked up a winner’s medal after Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s famous goals.

The former England Under-21 international played 27 times for the Red Devils in total.

And after leaving Old Trafford, he went on to play for the likes of Middlesbrough, West Brom, Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

The unrecognisable man is of course Jonathan Greening.

The 44-year-old looks completely different having ditched the luscious locks that made him stand out on the pitch and he now has a much bigger beard.

Greening signed for United from York City in 1998 and stayed for three seasons before moving on for regular first-team football.

While at Middlesbrough he won the League Cup and during his spell at West Brom he helped fire the Baggies to Championship glory.

Greening also played a huge role in Fulham’s run to the Europa League final in 2010, coming off the bench in the defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Overall, he went on play 252 times in the Prem.

The retired star is now having a go at management at his hometown club Scarborough Athletic, who play in the sixth tier of English football.
