Michael looked especially dapper
Michael was at the world-famous racecourse to support a horse that he co-owns with a few of his Manchester United ex-teammates.
The post comes after Michael recently made headlines with a re-surfaced extract from his 2020 autobiography, Reboot. Speaking candidly about his mental health, the England footballer revealed how he sought "professional help" after he grew "jealous" of his wife Louise's close bond with their eldest daughter and Love Island star, Gemma Owen.

Opening up about the struggles of his "inner demons", Michael went on to admit that he accused his childhood sweetheart of spending too much time with their 19-year-old daughter whilst simultaneously "ignoring" their other children.
He concluded by saying: "Let me be very clear and say that none of this was in any way a reflection on how I felt about either Gemma or Louise. I love them both with all of me."
Michael's daughter Gemma recently entered the Love Island villa as one of this year's hopeful singletons. In a show of support, Michael told ITV News: "I have no doubts that she will make us all proud.
"It's probably a father's worst nightmare, but whatever she wants to do. You've got to be supportive."
