United raise awareness of ocean plastic threat

United players Juan Mata, Ander Herrera and Scott McTominay took time out of their summer tour to the USA to attend an event aimed at educating more people about the significant threat posed by ocean waste and encourage greater action amongst the international community.

The event took place on a boat docked at Santa Monica harbour in Los Angeles. It featured talks by COO of Parley Mike Long and Big Wave Surfer Greg Long that focused on the threat posed to our oceans by plastic waste.

Mata, Herrera and McTominay were joined in the audience by members of the adidas Tango Squad – the innovative global football community.
