15-year-old James King’s Christmas came early as he met his idol – Manchester United captain, Wayne Rooney.
James, who suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome, had been given tickets to watch United by his school, a partner of the Manchester United Foundation.
But unfortunately for James, he was later forced to return the tickets, explaining that he wouldn’t be able to attend the match as he needed to look after his mum.
Hearing about this, Foundation coaches put James’ name forward for a special reward and he was invited to United’s training complex.
Having been told he was there to record a promotional video about his work with the Foundation, James is visibly shocked as Wayne Rooney appears, handing him a signed shirt and VIP tickets to a United match.
