Pupils from Moorfield Primary, Saint Joseph The Worker RC Primary and Forest Gate Academy had the surprise of a life time as their Reds heroes joined them for Manchester United's Christmas card.
John Shiels, Manchester United Foundation chief executive, said: "The Foundation has been lucky enough to feature in many of the club's Christmas cards over the years. However, none can be as memorable as the moment 20 local primary-school children found themselves standing alongside the Manchester United first-team squad to create this year’s card.
"I look forward to viewing all the other incredible experiences the club have lined up for the children we work with. They really have made dreams come true this Christmas and I thank them for their generosity."
