You have to see this beautiful sight from Old Trafford. It’s really cool, and no matter what football club you’re a supporter of, you’ll like what these children have done here at the Theatre of Dreams.
It’s the cover of the Manchester United Christmas card, and it was taken in Sir Alex Ferguson stand in Old Trafford. Enjoy! Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!
More than 250 children from various schools across the area took part in the creation of a human Christmas tree in the main stands of Old Trafford. Red Devils legends Paddy Crerand, Alex Stepney and Clayton Blackmore, along with team mascot Fred the Red joined the children as they were dressed in red Santa hats and scarves before holding up cards at the night time photoshoot.
