Charity volunteer signs for United

A volunteer who works with disadvantaged young people in Trafford has been employed with Manchester United.

Kyle O'Connor celebrated his new role in style by meeting members of the Manchester United first team on the Old Trafford pitch.

The 17-year-old from Trafford was invited to the Theatre of Dreams to meet some of the first team players including Nani, Rafael and Fabio and new signings Antonio Valencia and Gabriel Obertan.

Kyle volunteers with the Manchester United Foundation's Kickz project and is the first young volunteer to progress from an attendee at a session through all the steps in the Kickz programme to gain employment with the club. Kyle will be employed as a football coach at the project, in charge of developing the junior sessions on Friday evenings.
