Disability players meet United stars

Manchester United first-team stars took time out in the sun to surprise participants from the Foundation’s disability programme.

Players from Manchester United Foundation’s Ability Counts programme, for young people with physical or neurological disabilities, were delighted to be invited to the Aon Training Complex for what they thought was a skills session with their coaches.

Little did they know Manchester United first-teamers Anthony Martial, Marouane Fellaini, Phil Jones, Antonio Valencia, Marcos Rojo, Sergio Romero and Sam Johnstone would be joining them to offer training tips and take part in drills.

Chris, 16, has been attending Ability Counts for six years and plays for the Manchester United deaf team.
