MANCHESTER United hosted a fundraiser last night to raise money for Unicef, the world leading children’s organisation.
These types of events which happen annually at Old Trafford have helped to raise more than £4 million for the children’s charity over two decades.
Last night’s gala helped to raise £160,000 which will be used to continue to fund Unicef’s work in Thailand where gender inequality, disability and poverty mean people are denied a proper education.
The gala was also a chance for fans to donate to charity and to meet some of their stars and idols.
A number of famous faces were present including TV presenter Rachel Riley, Game of Thrones star John Bradley West and grime star Stormzy, who was the headline act for the event.
