Man Utd fan: 鈥楳agical moment' Mata hugged my disabled son
The father of a disabled boy has described the 鈥渕agical moment鈥 Manchester United鈥檚 Juan Mata kept the team bus waiting, so he could give his son a hug.
Jon Nield said he and son Alex 鈥 who has cerebral palsy - were waiting outside Old Trafford to get a glimpse of some of the players, when Juan 鈥渃locked Alex straight away and came over鈥.
A family friend filmed the encounter and it has become a huge hit on social media. The football ace also contacted the club to arrange tickets for a match the following day.
鈥淗e鈥檚 absolutely made up 鈥 he probably thinks he鈥檚 best mates with him! He was so, so happy, you could see the delight in his face,鈥 added Jon.
