Manchester United legends draw with Bayern Munich all-star side... and Andrew Cole rolls back the years with a brilliant backheel to cap a brace as Paul Scholes captains the Reds and grabs a goal An XI of Reds former heroes drew 3-3 with their German counterparts at the Allianz Arena in a charity game Andrew Cole scored twice including a sumptuous opener while Paul Scholes also struck for the Reds Paulo Sergio, Giovane Elber and Alexander Zickler scored for the home side who went ahead twice Bryan Robson, Dwight Yorke and Phil Neville were among the United stars on show for a good cause By OLIVER TODD PUBLISHED: 19:40, 9 August 2014 | UPDATED: 10:00, 10 August 2014 A team of Manchester United legends managed to do what the Old Trafford clubs current crop failed in doing - securing a draw against a Bayern Munich XI at the Allianz Arena. The two European powerhouses have enjoyed some great Champions League clashes down the years - and past heroes from both clubs were present in a 3-3 draw in a charity game at Bayerns home - with Andrew Cole starring with two goals including a brilliant backheel. The former Reds frontman was reunited with his familiar striker partner Dwight Yorke - and it seemed to pay dividends with Paul Scholes feeding the strike pair from midfield. Manchester United: Kuszczak, Irwin, Johnsen, Dublin, Martin, Blomqvist, P. Neville, Scholes, Fortune, Cole, Yorke. Lee Martin set up Coles opener with just nine minutes gone - putting in a low cross that the 42-year-old was able to instinctively backheel past Hans-Joerg Butt in the Bayern goal. Paulo Sergio then scored an equaliser two minutes later, slotting past Tomasz Kuszczak as he sent the Polish keeper the wrong way as he was bearing down on goal. Former Brazilian forward Giovane Elber then made it 2-1 to the home side, evading Dion Dublins tackle in the area before providing the simplest of finishes and celebrating by rolling around in a sponsors sign behind the goal. Scholes slotted home Yorkes cutback to draw United level again before Alexander Zickler beat the Reds offside trap to make it 3-2 to the home side. That set it up perfectly for Cole to seal the draw with another smart finish with just seven minutes remaining as the game ended 3-3.
