The match started with the player in goal, and the team captain was Carrick.

Fans were impressed by his performance, actively sharing their thoughts on social media.

“Raimond van der Gouw is 62 years old and still a better keeper than Andre Onana.”

“Our best number two in my time supporting Utd. I’d take him over Onana.”

“Even for a Legends game, there’s quite an age spread here! Van der Gouw and Blackmore old enough to be Tyler Blackett’s Dad!”

The Dutchman made 60 appearances for United during his six years at Old Trafford.

He was purchased by Sir Alex Ferguson from Sunderland for 500,000 pounds as a replacement for Peter Schmeichel.

Van der Gouw won two Premier League titles with the club, as well as an FA Cup and the Champions League in 1999.
