Man Utd star Brown helps raise £30,000 in Old Trafford sleepover
- Published
Former Manchester United and England defender Wes Brown helped raise £30,000 on Friday night in the latest Old Trafford sleepover.
The club say over 120 people took part in the event, the fourth time it has been arranged, which is aimed at raising awareness around poverty and homelessness and raises money for United's Foundation to help with their community projects.
Brown completed the full night on the stadium floor, while former team-mate Michael Carrick and another ex-United defender Phil Jones also took part in a question-and-answer session.
"I've worked with the Foundation for a long time, so I've seen the difference they make in the community," said Brown.
"This kind of event is so important to help support that work and it's obviously an amazing opportunity for fans to have this experience of sleeping out at Old Trafford."
