Manchester United legend Bryan Robson led a team of 24 inspirational trekkers to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise vital funds for Manchester United Foundation.

Joined by United We Stand editor and journalist Andy Mitten, as well as Manchester United Foundation’s CEO, John Shiels, the extraordinary challenge has raised more than £120,000, to support the lives of young people across Greater Manchester and beyond.

Conquering Africa’s tallest mountain was no easy feat for ‘Captain Marvel’, who first climbed the mountain in 2013 – in aid of the Foundation on that occasion, too.

Bryan said: “It's been a fantastic experience with an absolutely brilliant group of people. When you're on the top of that mountain and you see the glacier and blue skies, it is just amazing - the views that you see from the summit are amazing.
