A former Manchester United defender has been pictured looking unrecognisable while enjoying a round of golf with one of his ex-team-mates.
Sir Alex Ferguson‘s men reclaimed the Premier League title back in 2003, 12 months after Arsenal had snatched it away from them.

The Red Devils amassed 83 points in the league as Ruud van Nistelrooy enjoyed his best ever campaign with 44 goals in all competitions.
But the same could not be said for one of the two former Red Devils stars snapped playing some golf during the summer break.
Diego Forlan, who managed just 17 goals in 98 games for Man Utd, was seen on the green with ex-France midfielder Laurent Blanc.
And it was Blanc, 57, who looked very different to his playing days in the North West.
The Frenchman shielded himself from the cameras with a cap and glasses as he chatted with retired Uruguay striker Forlan, 44.
But former centre-back Blanc remains a high-profile figure in football despite hanging up his boots two decades ago.
Ending his playing days after winning the Premier League with Man Utd, 1998 World Cup winner Blanc began management with Bordeaux in 2007.
And he led them to the Ligue 1 title in 2009 as they beat Marseille to the crown by three points.

Since then, he has gone on to coach France, Paris Saint-Germain and Qatari outfit Al-Rayyan.
He took his country to the quarter-finals of Euro 2012, before claiming three French titles in a row with PSG between 2014 and 2016.
After returning from the Middle East, he took over at Lyon in October.
Succeeding Peter Bosz, he helped lift the seven-time French champions from ninth to seventh at the end of the campaign.
But they still missed out on European football by five points.
