David, aged 14, plays for the Manchester United powerchair team, and was thrilled to have such an exclusive experience: “It’s been insane, meeting all the players and watching them train; not many people get to see professionals train at the highest level of sport. I think it’s just an incredible experience to see how they do it; a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you’re never going to get again.”
On meeting the players David added: “Rasmus Hojlund and Harry Maguire were really nice; very chatty and sociable. I thought Bruno was really nice as well – he’s my favourite player and a role model as the captain, he’s a great leader.”
Kenzi, from South Wales, styled his hair like his favourite player Garnacho specially for the day. He said: “I bleached my hair to look like Garnacho and I can’t believe I now get to meet him! It’s been a brilliant day; it’s really hard to describe it but it’s been lovely to meet all the players.”
