Manchester United players receive visit from Diego Maradona in Dubai

The Manchester United players have been in Dubai over the past week at a warm-weather training camp, but they halted their preparations to spend some time with Argentina legend Diego Maradona.

The North-West outfit flew out to the Middle East after drawing a blank in their goalless draw with Arsenal at the Emirates last Wednesday.

While at the camp, Juan Mata, Robin van Persie, David de Gea and Rio Ferdinand managed to grab a few photos with the football legend.

United are currently seventh in the Premier League table.
