Hundreds of people have paid for dinner alongside Fergie and Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool's boss, at the sumptuous do, who was greeted by actor James Nesbitt.

A source told the Sun: "Alex was in great shape all night and had angry guests with his stories.

"It raised a lot of money, but Alex was determined to make it all go to the NHS.

"He has always been a big supporter of them and this has become even more the case since his health problems."


The money included £ 5,000 from a shooter who had paid a photo with The Proclaimers, who had played the night.

Last May, United 's legend was rushed to hospital for an emergency operation after being seized from his home in Cheshire.

He spent four days in intensive care after being placed in induced coma.

Sir Alex congratulated the staff who treated him in his first public message after being a victim of the crisis.

"Just a quick note first of all to thank the medical staff at Macclesfield, Salford Royal and Alexandra hospitals," he said in July.

"Believe me, without these people, who have done me such good care, I would not be sitting here today. So thank you from me and from my family. Thank you so much. That made me so humble. "

Since then, he has returned to his usual seat at Old Trafford to see his former team in action and would have even helped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as acting manager of United.

The Scot won 38 trophies in 26 years at Old Trafford, before retiring in 2013.
