Unable to deliver gifts in person, Manchester United’s first team filmed video messages and packed gift bags, helping to spread festive joy to patients, staff and families at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, Francis House Children’s Hospice and The Christie.
Thanking staff for their continued hard work and sending positive messages to help raise spirits, both teams also sent an array of United-themed presents including shirts, hats and teddies to delight young people facing a tough Christmas period.
Club captain Harry Maguire said: “Supporting those in our local community is one of the most important things that we do as players and staff at Manchester United, especially around Christmas time.
