Manchester United is training in Dubai and received a surprise visit these players will never forget, a visit from the great Diego Armando Maradona. It was an unforgettable experience for them to have met this Argentinian legend. Maradona makes his frequent visits to Dubai where he coached teams in that country including Al Wasl FC.
The players,some of which included Robin Van Persie, Rio Ferdinand, Juan Mata, David De Gea, and Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández, took pictures and shared conversations with the ex-player from Argentina. While the players uploaded the pictures to Instagram today, Chicharito seems to have developed a bromance with Maradona seeing him as an idol and someone he looks up to. In his picture, he looks as he was trying to get a kiss from him.
Some of the captions on the pictures on Instagram and Twitter describe the emotion each player felt when they met this great legend. Hernandez wrote “With the great DIEGO”, while Mata put his on Twitter and wrote “Ladies and gentlemen, the best left foot in history. EL DIEGO #Maradona.” Van Persie also wrote on Twitter and said “Then I meet my hero again. The best. Diego.” When Van Persie and Mata had the opportunity to chat with him, they told him they were his biggest fans.
Maradona has been in the news lately. His ex-girlfriend Verónica Ojeda claims she was pregnant with his child and the retired Argentinian native denies this and says the child is not his. He also got engaged to 23 year old girlfriend Rocío Olivia.
