Manchester United's treble winners of 1999: Where are they now?

What a way to end his United career, captaining the team in the absence of Roy Keane and lifting the biggest trophy in club football.

Another absolute bargain buy for Ferguson, Schmeichel is United's greatest ever goalkeeper and arguably the finest of all time.

His career didn't finish after United, though. After winning another title with Sporting Lisbon, he returned to the Premier League in 2001 with Aston Villa and went on to end his playing days at Manchester City.

Now works as a television pundit for various companies.

For a younger generation, Neville might be more famous for being the most prominent pundit in football, given his role as a commentator and analyser for Sky Sports in the UK.

But he was also a key figure for United and England after graduating from the Class of 92.

After retirement, Neville was an assistant coach for England and had an ill-fated spell as manager of Valencia before deciding to focus fully on his media career.

The former right-back is also co-owner of Salford City.

The Norwegian defender joined United in the same summer as Solskjaer and was one of the most underrated figures of that treble-winning team, forming a rock-solid partnership with Stam.

Spent six years at United before going on to play for Aston Villa and Newcastle. Retired in 2008.

Ferguson has since admitted that one of his greatest mistakes as United manager was ending Stam's Old Trafford career too soon.

A £10.75m ($12.9m) signing from PSV Eindhoven in 1998, the colossal centre-back won the title in each of his three seasons at the club, before being hastily sold to Lazio. That move came after revelations in his autobiography about how his move to United materialised.

Went on to have a wonderful career in Italy, also playing for AC Milan before joining Ajax.

Moved into management, with Reading and Feyenoord among his clubs.

The Republic of Ireland defender has to go down as one of Ferguson's greatest ever signings and one of the biggest bargains in history, having joined from Oldham for just £625,000 ($750,000) in 1990.

Ended his career at Wolves in 2004. After retirement, Irwin has worked for MUTV and is also club ambassador.

Giggs made a club-record 936 appearances for United and has won more Premier League titles than any other player, with 13.

After retiring in 2014, having taken up the role of interim manager, he was appointed assistant to Louis van Gaal.
In 2018, Giggs was appointed as the manager of Wales but stepped down in June 2022 because of an upcoming court case.

He is also co-owner of League Two side Salford City. 

One of the Class of 92, Butt came through the youth ranks and ended up signing for Newcastle in 2004. The midfielder played the last season of his professional career in Hong Kong, with South China, and retired in 2011.

After retirement, Butt returned to United and became head of their famed academy, where he helped overhaul the youth set-up.

One of the greatest English footballers of all time, Beckham joined the list of United icons to wear the famous No.7 shirt before joining Real Madrid in 2003.

The former England captain went on to become a trailblazer in America, playing for LA Galaxy in MLS.

He carried on at the highest level in Europe right until the end of his career, with short-term loans at AC Milan and then a move to PSG. 

Beckham was part of the the London 2012 Olympic bid team and is now owner of MLS franchise Inter Miami.

Blomqvist was signed as competition and cover for Ryan Giggs at a time when the Welshman had struggled with hamstring injuries.

But injuries would go on to hamper Blomqvist after that first season at United.

After retiring in 2010, he went on to open his own pizza restaurant near Stockholm.

Yorke was never better than in that incredible treble-winning season after being signed from Aston Villa for £12.6m ($15m).

He scored 29 goals in all competitions after striking up a devastating understanding with Cole.

Left United in 2002 and went on to play for Blackburn, Birmingham, Sydney and Sunderland before retiring in 2009.

Yorke has worked as a television pundit and is now manager of McArthur FC in Australia.

Kevin Keegan famously had to face up to furious Newcastle fans when agreeing to sell Cole to United in 1995. But the striker initially struggled to replicate devastating form at Old Trafford.

So much so that when Dwight Yorke was signed in 98, the general feeling was that Cole would be the man to lose out. Ferguson also spent that summer trying to recruit Patrick Kluivert, such was his determination to overhaul his attack.

But Cole and Yorke struck up a stunning partnership that propelled United to the Treble – even if neither was on the score sheet against Bayern.

Cole spent six years at United and is still the third leading goal-scorer in Premier League history – despite not taking penalties.

He has had a few roles in coaching, working with Sol Campbell at Macclesfield and Southend.

Signed to replace Eric Cantona in 1997, he struggled to fill the Frenchman's boots initially – but would go on to earn legendary status himself for his strike at Camp Nou.

Returned to Tottenham in 2001 before heading to Portsmouth and then West Ham United. Retired from professional football after spending a season at Colchester United.

After retirement, he worked as a manager of Stevenage and then worked in the Indian Super League (ISL) as the head coach of ATK FC during ISL season four but was sacked midway into the season.

More recently Sheringham has worked as a pundit.

Signed from Molde in the summer of 1996 – the very same year Ferguson missed out on his bid to land Alan Shearer. Solskjaer stayed for 11 seasons before retiring from professional football in 2007. 

The Norwegian demonstrated his determination to have a second career in football when taking over the United reserve team until 2011.

He went on to manage Molde, twice, either side of a spell at Cardiff City, but his managerial career gave no indication that he would eventually follow in the footsteps of his mentor, Ferguson.

That came when Jose Mourinho was sacked in 2018 and United went in search of an interim.

Solskjaer answered the call and a stunning Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain helped secure him the job on a permanent basis.

He was eventually sacked in November 2021 after a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Watford.

Schmeichel's understudy, Van der Gouw played eight games in the 98-99 season and remained at the club until 2002.

After retirement he went into coaching, working at Sunderland, Vitesse and PSV Eindhoven.

Back in 1999, Brown was the latest academy sensation, with United holding high hopes that he could become a star centre-back.

That never quite happened but he was a starting right-back as Fergie won the Champions League for a second time in 2008.

Retired in 2017 and is now a pundit for MUTV.

His wife, Leanne, found fame in the reality TV series, The Real Housewives of Cheshire.

Perhaps more famous for his positioning in the Champions League celebration photos than anything else he did at United.

Now a pundit on MUTV.

Like May, he got a good position on the celebration picture.

Unlikely he would have been in the squad if not for the suspensions of Roy Keane and Paul Scholes.

Left United in 2001 and forged a good career at Middlesbrough, West Brom and Fulham.

Now manager of Scarborough Athletic.

Never managed to establish himself ahead of his brother at United, but carried out a valuable utility role.

Left for Everton in 2005, where he, arguably, produced his best football.

Since retiring he has gone into coaching and management.

He was part of David Moyes' backroom team at United, managed England Women and is currently in charge at Beckham's Inter Miami.

Has also worked as a commentator and TV pundit, while co-owning Salford City.

Famously denied the chance to play in the final after his booking in the semi against Juventus.

But that match in Turin defined him more than any other in a United shirt, with the legendary Irish midfielder inspiring a come-from-behind win despite knowing he would be denied the chance to lead his side out at Camp Nou.

Has worked as a manager, coach and pundit since retiring and is currently one of the most forthright voices in football.

Another who missed out because of a booking in Turin but, at that time, Keane was seen as the bigger loss.

Unlike Keane, though, Scholes did get another chance to lift the trophy, as part of the 2008 Champions League-winning side.

Tried out management with Oldham, but has largely spent his retirement working as a seemingly reluctant television personality in punditry.

Also co-owns Salford City.
