MANCHESTER UNITED stars were coached by boxing star Chris Eubank Jr in pre-season training.
The huge Red Devils fan travelled from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to meet the Premier League team.

And as the team prepared for the new season, he joined in the workouts, too.
Pictures showed the boxer posing with United stars including Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford.
The fighter joked online, saying: “Is it too late to change careers? Make me a coach!”
And he attended a training session ahead of the team’s friendly against premiership rivals Arsenal.
When asked about his love for Manchester United last year, Eubank said: “I know these guys, I’ve been following them for many years. They’re really nice lads. I’m very close to some of them.
“We are athletes and they appreciate what I do in the boxing ring. We all know how much hard work and dedication you have to put in to get to the top.
“These guys are at the top of their game, so we gel with each other. Our energy is very exciting.”
Eubank, 34, has been out of the ring since defeating Liam Smith in a rematch last September.

He has been spending his summer holidays training in Las Vegas and playing poker until the wee hours with Brazilian star Neymar Jr in some of the city’s biggest casinos.
Despite signing a new deal with the UK-based promoter the boxer still wants to face Canelo Alvarez.
He was in talks to face Mexico’s Alvarez in September and was the front-runner until Edgar Berlanga got the fight.
But he has now signed with Ben Shalom, casting doubt on whether he will be able to take on the undisputed super middleweight champion.
He could now potentially face Billy Joe Saunders – although he has been out of the ring since 2021 – or Conor Benn, who is currently under a provisional suspension from UK Anti-Doping.
