The festive period sees footballers take time out of their busy schedules to give back to some of their fans, with hospital visits popular.
A number of Manchester United players visited Royal Manchester Children’s hospital earlier this month.
Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford were among the stars to spread some cheer.
Manchester United goody-bags were handed out to the youngsters and players posed for selfies.
Aside from making hospital visits, Premier League aces have a busy fixture schedule to deal with.
Boxing Day and New Year’s Day games mean there is little let up.
