Pakistani cricket sensation Shaheen Shah Afridi recently took a detour from his busy schedule to visit Old Trafford, the famed Manchester United stadium, during a well-deserved break in the UK. After a grueling cricket season, Afridi seized the opportunity to unwind and delve into the storied legacy of the iconic stadium.
What began as an unplanned visit turned into a meticulously curated experience by the football club. At Old Trafford, Afridi was greeted with warm hospitality and had the chance to step into the stadium’s revered dugout, where he received a personalized Manchester United jersey. The shirt, emblazoned with “Afridi” and the prestigious No. 10—worn by football luminaries such as David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Wayne Rooney—added a touch of grandeur to the occasion.
Manchester United shared snapshots of Afridi exploring the stadium in their team kit on social media, with the caption “The eagle has landed” accompanied by an eagle emoji. This exclusive tribute underscored the club’s appreciation for the cricket star and made the visit a standout moment for Afridi and his fans.
