A group of Manchester United fans were greeted by Treble legends Andy Cole, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville at Old Trafford on Monday, after completing an epic charity cycle ride from Barcelona.

The journey, which started at FC Barcelona’s Nou Camp, exceeded 2,000km in length, encompassed 16 days of consecutive days of riding, and has raised over £40,000 towards a new ambulance for St. Ann’s Hospice.

The ride was conceived by well-known Red, fanzine editor and journalist Andy Mitten, in honour of his late father, Charlie Mitten – nephew of the great 1948 FA Cup-winning United hero of the same name – who passed away from cancer on 6 November 2018.

“Dad died in Salford in a hospice, where the care he received was fantastic,”

Andy told us, after completing the final few metres to Old Trafford around 5pm.
