Tickets are still on sale for the 2018/19 United for Unicef Gala Dinner, which will be held at Old Trafford on Tuesday 22 January.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the Manchester United first-team squad will be in attendance at this special event, which over the years has helped to raise over £4million for Unicef. 

Offering supporters the rare opportunity to rub shoulders with their footballing heroes, the Gala Dinner includes a live auction with once-in-a-lifetime prizes to be won. There will also be a table raffle to win signed United memorabilia and live entertainment.
TV presenter Rachel Riley hosted the 2017/18 dinner and interviewed players including Phil Jones.

Speaking at last year’s event, Paul Pogba said: “Manchester United is big and we can have a big impact in the world; I hope it can carry on helping people. You have to think about the kids who are not in our position. I love to help people and this is the best opportunity to do that.”

The United for Unicef partnership is the longest running of its kind between a sport organisation and a global children’s organisation. This season’s Gala Dinner will raise money for some of the world’s most vulnerable children affected by emergencies.

Today, one in four of the world’s children live in a country affected by conflict or disaster. 50 million children have been uprooted from their homes. Right now, children’s needs have never been greater and they need our support.
The 2018/19 United For Unicef dinner will raise vital funds for vulnerable children around the world.

Mike Penrose, Executive Director of Unicef UK, said, “Over the last 19 years United for Unicef has helped changed the lives of millions of children around the world. With funds raised from this event we can continue to work together to make the world a safer place for children.”

To join the United first-team squad for a truly unforgettable night at Old Trafford and help us raise vital funds for vulnerable children, please call 0161 868 8004 or visit www.manutd.com/united4unicef.
