The Manchester United first team were out in force today to make special memories for excited fans at Manchester United Foundation’s latest Dream Day.
The full team, including Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and David de Gea, made dreams come true at the Aon Training Complex for fans who suffer from serious and life-limiting illnesses. Alexis Sanchez also attended his first Dream Day since joining the Reds in January this year.
The heart-warming event takes place twice a season with supporters travelling from across the UK to meet their footballing heroes and watch first team training from the Jimmy Murphy Visitors’ Centre.
Chris Smalling, who has supported the Foundation and attended many Dream Days over his eight seasons with the club, said,
Fan favourite, Paul Pogba, added, “We have the wonderful chance here to give young people happiness and it is very important for us to see them smile. They’ve been telling me some nice things, talking about my hairstyles, doing some dabs; the kids are happy and we just have to think about them and be grateful.”
