Argentine legend Diego Maradona joined the Manchester United fan club; the MUFC fan club in Kuwait. The World Cup winner was handed a red box with the Manchester United crest on it and appeared only too happy to receive his gift.
Diego Maradona, 53, embraced his fellow United fan and posed for a picture.
View it at the Daily Mail. United were in Dubai for some training, and some rest and relaxation too in February. David De Gea, Alexander Buttner, Robin Van Persie met Maradona, the legendary football coach, manager and former player. He’s like the Ozzie Guillen of soccer
