The Manchester United football team hit New York's party scene full throttle on Monday night.

They shook their thing so hard they even made the gossip page of the New York Post which reported that they danced with belly dancers and downed champagne "in a celebratory mood" until 4am.

Premier players Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand, also hit a series of hot spots on Sunday night - including a Moulin Rouge-themed burlesque show at the raunchy club Lavo.

"The team and their staff took over about half of the restaurant," an onlooker told the NYC news.

"Once the music started after dinner, they were dancing on the tables,” they added.

“Then the belly dancers arrived and they were completely mesmerised. Ryan Giggs got up and was dancing with a belly dancer on a table, while the other guys were laughing,” continued the witness.

The players, who are on a tour of the USA, were celebrating after Saturday's win against Chicago and before their pending game on Tuesday against the MLS All-Star team, which boasts David Beckham, in Harrison, N.J.
