Paul Pogba gives Manchester United Foundation volunteer the Christmas surprise of his life

Joao, 17, attends Manchester United Foundation’s Street Reds programme and has also started volunteering at various projects through the Volunteer Ninety Nine initiative.

He was nominated to receive a Christmas surprise by his coach, Tom Oldbury, for his dedication to sessions and his improvement in confidence.

Joao believed he was taking part in filming for the Foundation and received the surprise of his life when his football hero Paul Pogba arrived bearing early Christmas gifts of an Xbox and FIFA 17 game.

The French star spent time giving tips and having a kick about with the young volunteer before signing shirts for Joao and his father. Manchester United Foundation uses the power of football to engage and inspire young people to build a better life for themselves and unite the communities in which they live. Dedicated staff deliver educational and community outreach programmes to help young people make positive choices in their lives.
