Also in attendance on Sunday night were Patrice and Sandra Evra, Darren and Hayley Fletcher, Michael and Lisa Carrick, and, Nemanja Vidic and wife Ana Ivanovic.
The players will be hoping to go into the second half of the season with new resolve to retain the Premier League title.
After their 3-1 victory against West Ham, the club are now in eighth, and Moyes will need a miraculous winning streak from his side if he is to win trophy in his first season as coach, something that has never been achieved by a United manager.

Moyes may not be smiling after hearign this stat, however - no side has ever won the Premier League having been below 6th on Christmas Day.
That hasn't knocked Moyes confidence though. He said on Saturday: 'There is a long way to go, we’ll just try and keep winning and see where we end up.'

By Chimaobi Jose Nzoromobi  Warri billionaire businessman and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Chief Ayiri Emami, has revealed he advised former Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President, Amaju Pinnick, not to locate the FIFA Forward Project stadium in Ugborodo, Delta State.
