Players including club captain Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and interim head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy took time away from football to meet young fans with serious illnesses at Carrington.
The heartwarming event, which takes place twice a season, gives Reds from across the country the opportunity to visit the club’s Carrington training ground, watch United train and meet their heroes.
Youngsters aged between eight and 18 years old were among those attending what proved to be a very emotional day, beaming with joy as they chatted and posed for photos with their footballing idols.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes expressed how much it meant to the players to take part in days like this.
