Young Manchester United superfan with cerebral palsy got to meet 19 of his heroes
Athletes and celebrities are in a unique position where they are idolized simply just by being themselves. A group of Manchester United players helped make a young fan's day last weekend, as 19 of them stopped to pose and chat with 10-year-old superfan Rocket Dunn.
Dunn, who has cerebral palsy, was overwhelmed by the amount of his heroes that stopped to meet him, the Manchester Evening News reported. Many of them posed for pictures, including Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Eric Bailly and Michael Carrick. But according to Rocket's grandma, Martie, it was truly something special when Zlatan Ibrahimovic himstopped for a photo.
“To watch Rocket’s face when he met Ibrahimovic was amazing, he was absolutely over the moon. He just couldn’t believe Zlatan was talking to him, even before he came to United he loved Ibrahimovic," Martie told the newspaper.
Rocket had his shoes signed by the United players that stopped by, but only Ibrahimovic was allowed to sign Rocket's Man United hoodie. They're definitely doing something right there in Manchester. Well done, guys!
