Paul Pogba and Juan Mata make young disabled Manchester United fan's day by greeting him after the Munich air disaster service at Old Trafford

A young Manchester United supporter was greeted by Paul Pogba and Juan Mata following an emotional Munich air disaster service at Old Trafford.

United stars past and present stood in silent solidarity at the Theatre of Dreams on Tuesday to mark the 60th anniversary of the tragedy which killed 23 including eight United players.

And following the emotional Old Trafford occasion, Alex Nield — who has cerebral palsy — waited outside the stadium in hope of seeing some of his favourite stars.

And that dream was made a reality when Pogba and Mata, who were both wearing club suits, were making their way out of the venue.
