It was a dream come true for Mark O'Donnell as he joined a host of other children as guests of the Manchester United Foundation at the club's Carrington Training Complex.
A pupil at Scoil Iosagain, Mark got the chance to meet the entire first team squad and then watched on as manager Ruben Amorim put the squad through a full training session.

The youngster was also full of smiles as he got to meet stars such as Bruno Fernandes and Harry Maguire, as well as manager Amorim, as the team goes through a good spell of form, winning their last three games as they sit sixth in the Premier League table.

Mark is a member of the Buncrana Hearts Football for All team.
