Pakistani cricket star Shaheen Shah Afridi recently had the chance to visit Old Trafford, the legendary home of Manchester United, during a break in the UK following a demanding cricket season.

Taking some time to relax, Afridi explored the storied history of the stadium. What began as a casual visit turned into a special event, thoughtfully arranged by the football club. At Old Trafford, Afridi was given a warm welcome and was spotted in the stadium’s dugout, proudly displaying a personalized Manchester United jersey.

The jersey, featuring his name “Afridi” and the iconic No. 10—worn by football legends such as David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Wayne Rooney—underscored the significance of his visit.

Manchester United later posted photos of Afridi on their social media, showing him enjoying the stadium while wearing the team’s kit, with the caption “The eagle has landed,” accompanied by an eagle emoji. This gesture highlighted the club’s appreciation for the cricket star and made the experience memorable for both Afridi and his supporters.
