United's gala dinner raises £160K for Unicef

Jose Mourinho and his Manchester United squad were out in force on Wednesday evening as they attended the prestigious United for Unicef Gala Dinner at Old Trafford. The 18th annual event raised a fantastic £160,000 for Unicef, the world’s leading children’s organisation.

Offering fans the chance to rub shoulders with their footballing heroes, the black-tie event is always a highlight of the club’s social calendar. This year, it was hosted by television presenter and lifelong United supporter Rachel Riley and BBC Sport broadcaster Mark Chapman, while the main entertainment was provided by British grime superstar Stormzy, who stole the show with a performance of his latest single Blinded by Your Grace.
