From the stadium to the streets of Seoul, Man United legends reunited in full force.

Manchester United fans were in for a nostalgic treat as several club legends reunited in Seoul, South Korea, while donning traditional South Korean robes. 

The gathering featured former Red Devils stars from the 2008/09 Premier League title-winning team, including Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Edwin van der Sar, Dimitar Berbatov, and South Korea's very own Park Ji-sung

One of the snaps featured the ex-footballer turned pundit and his former teammate Berbatov holding a small-sized traditional Korean robe, showcasing their playful side.

 The former England international captioned the post, "When Ji takes us shopping in Seoul. Ps @patrice.evra swipe… we got you one also," cheekily hinting at their former teammate Patrice Evra.

Between them, the group boasts an impressive 1,374 first-team appearances, with most of their playing years under the iconic Sir Alex Ferguson. 

Vidic, Van der Sar, Park, and Ferdinand were integral parts of the 2008 United squad that clinched both the Premier League and Champions League titles in one of the club’s most successful seasons.
