Behind the scenes at Manchester United's Unicef dinner: Chris Smalling jokes with Stormzy about Romelu Lukaku, while a Game of Thrones star joins Paul Pogba and Co
- Manchester United held a gala dinner at Old Trafford on Wednesday for Unicef
- United stars were out in force while grime star Stormzy gave a performance

- Game of Thrones star John Bradley - who plays Samwell Tarly - was also present
Manchester United's players were out in force for the club's gala dinner on Wednesday night - which featured a performance from grime star Stormzy.
But it was United centre-back Chris Smalling who stole the show - at least on social media - with a photo alongside the musician.
'Fantastic night at Old Trafford raising money for @unicef and great hanging out with @rlukaku9,' Smalling wrote, alongside a picture of him with his wife, Sam, and Stormzy himself.

The Irish Herald published a picture of Stormzy with their story on Lukaku joining United
Smalling also had a photograph taken alongside wife Sam at the United Unicef fundraiser
Mrs Smalling also posed for a picture with actor John Bradley, who is in Game of Thrones
Of course, Smalling hadn't mistakenly tagged team-mate Lukaku. He was, instead, referring to an error made by the Irish Herald earlier this summer where they published a picture of Stormzy alongside their story of United signing Lukaku from Everton for £75million.
Actor John Bradley, who plays Samwell Tarly in Game of Thrones, was also present and posed for a photo alongside Smalling's wife.
'United for UNICEF tonight with a great performance from @stormzyofficial obvs (sic) I had to get a pic with our Sam from the nights watch,' she wrote.
Elsewhere, United midfielder Ander Herrera shared a snap with 'my boys' Eric Bailly and Antonio Valencia.

And Jesse Lingard shared footage of him alongside Marcus Rashford, Lukaku and Paul Pogba looking sharp in suits for the event.
United's players will be back in their football kits on Saturday when they host Newcastle at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
United are second in the table on 23 points, eight behind leaders - and bitter rivals - Manchester City.
