A group of Manchester United's Academy players recently enjoyed a collaboration day with the British Para-swimming team.

The day began with the Academy players heading to the National Training Centre in Manchester for a morning swimming session.

United's players and the swimming team had the opportunity to learn from each other throughout the experience and started by practising various swimming strokes.

Both sets of athletes presented inspirational stories about navigating the various obstacles they have come across in their individual sports.

The group then visited the Aon Training Complex where they enjoyed an adapted football session arranged by Manchester United Foundation coaches.

The swimming team took the opportunity to watch United's training session in the afternoon before joining the end of the exercise.
