The match is being held to mark the famous 1999 Champions League final at Camp Nou which the Red Devils won 2-1 in a dramatic fashion.
The Germans were minutes away from victory having led 1-0 for the majority of the game, only for substitute Teddy Sheringham to draw United level in the 91st minute.
Current caretaker boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who also came off the bench netted the winner minutes later to earn the Old Trafford side a famous treble.
Gary Neville, who featured in that final and is expected to play in the commemorative game on May 26 can’t wait to see Ferguson back in the dugout, and here is how he reacted to the news on Twitter.
