Manchester United is giving fans the chance to watch players train at an open training
session at Old Trafford, with all proceeds from the day being donated to the Manchester
United Foundation to fund its work in the local community.

Tickets are £6 for adults and £3 for children and concessions. Fans should get to
see the likes of Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez. Open
Training starts at 9am, and the day will include fairground rides, inflatables and
fun activities for the children.

Other entertainment on the day includes music from X-factor star Olly Murs and an
international U15 tournament, granting some of the best youth players in the world
an opportunity to display their talent. Former “fledglings” to compete in this tournament
include Robinho, Torres, Iniesta, Fabregras and United’s very own Da Silva twins.
