Speaking on the gala, charitable Solskjaer said: "For me, it's the closest charity to my heart.

"It's fantastic to see so many people here and I hope we can raise quite a bit of money tonight, I think everyone knows the cause."

No club has held a longer relationship with a global children's organisation than United and Unicef, with the partnership raising over £4million.

Fans will be able to rub shoulders with their heroes at the gala, with special prizes to be handed out during the live auction.

Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Romelu Lukaku were all in high spirits, and it should come as no surprise with the club in scintillating form.

Though the French World Cup winner wouldn't have been in a great mood when his £250,000 Rolls Royce Wraith was handed a parking ticket - and he was told to "stop driving like a w*****".

Spanish trio David De Gea, Ander Herrera and Juan Mata had all eyes on them as they rocked up in stylish black suits.

And Alexis Sanchez - who has struggled with hamstring injuries this season - posed a smile for the cameras as he looks to make his return to the side.

The Chilean could start against former employers Arsenal on Friday, when the two teams meet in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

United have won all seven games since Solskjaer took the reins at the Theatre of Dreams, with the club forcing themselves back into top four contention.
