Former Man Utd star looks completely unrecognisable 25-years on after linking up with old team-mates for Masters match

A FORMER Manchester United star looks unrecognisable now after ditching his long locks.

It included the likes of Wes Brown, Paul Rachubka, Louis Saha, Danny Webber, Darron Gibson, John O’Shea and Quinton Fortune.

But one man who caught the eye above them all was a certain Czech winger.

Karel Poborsky, who won the Premier League with Man Utd in 1997, could be seen standing behind Fortune and in front of O’Shea.

But he is no longer rocking the lengthy curls he donned as a player.

Instead, he has gone with a more conservative bed of hair, along with a strong beard.

Poborsky has brought the beard back after shaving it off several years ago.

The clean-shaven look came after he discovered a tick stuck in his beard in 2016 and was subsequently hospitalised.

He was then diagnosed with Lyme disease.

In recent years, Poborsky has been spotted playing several charity games, including for Man United legends in 2017.

He starred alongside the likes of David Beckham at Old Trafford.
