Mourinho auctioned off the
clothes he was wearing when he was unveiled as United's new manager in
July - before taking off his watch to auction as a special last-minute
lot.
Mourinho said: "Charity is one of the amazing things in society and I
have always been very supportive of Unicef. You know that the money is
going to the right place and is going to make a big difference.
"Tonight the money is going to help children in Thailand so we know that
we are going to contribute to a better future - I think it is difficult
to have a better feeling than that."
'The Mourinho Collection' raised more than £30,000 with the evening producing more than £215,000 in funds for Unicef.
But while there was a serious side to the occasion, Manchester United
forward Memphis Depay entertained his followers on Snapchat with some
hilarious images and videos.
The Dutchman used filters to poke fun at himself and
team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan and also got into the Halloween spirit by
turning Marouane Fellaini into a vampire bat!
He also mocked Paul Pogba for spilling some drink on his dinner suit.
Other members of the first-team squad in attendance included forwards
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney and Marcus Rashford - who was
celebrating his 19th birthday.
Former Germany international Bastian Schweinsteiger was also present on the day he trained with the first-team squad for the first time this season.
