On Sunday, July 20, Team India touched down in Manchester, the hosts for the fourth Test against England on July 23. Ahead of the do-or-die match, the Shubman Gill-led side made a special visit to the Manchester United training centre.

For the unversed, Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in footballing history and also holds the record for most Premier League titles (13). It was a great collaboration for cricket and football fans to see two big teams across sports sharing the same frame.

Rishabh Pant Shares A Moment With Bruno Fernandes

Several pictures have been posted on the internet, which show that the Indian players were standing wearing United jerseys, while Man U stars wore India's Test jersey.

Further, head coach Gautam Gambhir also clicked a photo alongside Manchester United's Ruben Amorim. The highlight of all pictures was the interaction between Rishabh Pant and Bruno Fernandes. Notably, the Indian southpaw presented a signed bat to Manchester United star, and the gesture was replicated, and Pant was presented with a signed Man U jersey with his initials and No.17 written on the back.

Mohammed Siraj bowls to Harry Maguire

Mohammed Siraj too loved his visit to the United Centre as the right-arm seamer is a big football fan and was seen playing cricket alongside Harry Maguire, who recently made a visit to India. 

Siraj and Maguire laughed, and it was followed by a group photo, which featured the Indian captain Shubman wearing the Red Devils' home jersey. The BCCI too informed fans about the planned visit and tweeted 'United In Manchester'.

Talking about Team India, the visitors are trailing 1-2 in the ongoing five-match series. Further, the Shubman Gill-led side are sweating hard as they have never won a Test at Manchester and a defeat would end their dream to clinch their maiden series in England since 2007.
