MANCHESTER UNITED star Fred and his wife Monique splashed thousands of pounds on an ‘under the sea’ Finding Nemo party for son Benjamin.
They flew in their family from Brazil for the bash.
And the couple hired a team of party planners to decorate their Cheshire mansion so it looked like a scene from the hit Disney film for the lad’s second birthday.
A giant backdrop featured his name in huge letters alongside characters from the film and the floor was made to look like the ocean floor.
There was a towering Nemo cake, balloons made to resemble bubbles of air and streamers to ape seaweed.
The room was also decorated with giant bouquets of flowers and tables laid with Nemo clothes and napkins.
There was a finger buffet of seafood treats like breaded prawns, fish bites and scampi.
And guests were given a Nemo goodie bag.
Monique shared snaps of the lavish bash on Instagram and told fans: “This year due to COVID we had my little party at home and brought our family from Brazil to be with us in this very special moment.
“And how special it was! We chose the theme and did not stop playing and having fun for a second. Thank you, God, it was more special than I dreamed!”

While Fred struts his stuff for Man United, brainy Monique works as a chemical engineer.
Having studied at the University Centre of Belo Horizonte, she now works at the Centre for the Development of Nuclear Technology.
The pair went public with their relationship in January 2016, when the Brazilian midfielder was with Shakhtar Donetsk, and got married in July 2019.
