David Moyes and Sunderland may be struggling to work out how to put together a functioning Premier League campaign, but they do know how to build a car after visiting the city's Nissan factory.
The Black Cats were shown how the cars are constructed, as well as being given a tour of the site in Washington, Tyne and Wear.
It was perhaps a welcome break from the pitch for Sunderland, who have made the worst Premier League start ever with just two points from 10 games.
Despite the poor start the players seem to remain popular with fans working at Nissan, as staff mobbed their heroes asking for selfies.
