Victoria is no stranger to the Theatre of Dreams having watched United trounce West Ham 4-0 on the opening weekend of the Premier League.

She said at the time: “I came to attend the match versus West Ham on an official invite from Manchester United as a World Cup 2018 ambassador.

“The club management invited me, apparently, after the good impression left following their visit to Rostov-on-Don when our city gave them a really hospitable welcome.

“Now fans from all over the world invite me to attend their home games, they think I bring them luck.

“Yesterday, Man United fans hugged me and begged me not to leave.”

The Red Devils may want Victoria to stick around for Sunday’s Manchester derby, with United now boasting a 100 per cent win record with her in the crowd.

Victoria is an official Fifa 2018 envoy and the face of next year’s World Cup.

When she is not promoting the tournament, the 2003 Miss Russia winner is a TV host and co-presenter of her nation’s answer to Match of the Day.

Part of her ambassadorial duties include promoting a “healthy lifestyle” and organising events where children can meet famous Russian footballers.

United outcast Henrikh Mkhitaryan was in September snapped with Victoria weeks before she was due to be wed to Russian opera tenor Nikolay Baskov, 41.

The pair were caught on video strolling through Moscow together.
