In professional football, what a player does off the pitch is just as important as what he does on it. Christian, our favourite midfielder, has always stood out for being kind and dedicated to community service, as well as for his amazing skills on the pitch.
With the MU Foundation – Manchester United, Christian Eriksen goes to Old Trafford Primary School.
Christian just got back from a visit to one of the partner schools of the Manchester United Foundation. As always, he made an impact. Besides helping with two tasks, he came to take part in a physical education class and hand out shoebox gifts.
It made the little kids’ hearts skip a beat when they saw Christian walk into school wearing his team’s shirt and shining with pride. He didn’t show up empty-handed; he had gifts from people who had given to our lunchbox campaign for kids.
The kids learnt from these careful gifts that football isn’t just about winning and losing; it’s also about showing kindness and love to others. The gifts made the kids happy and warm inside.
“Always classy, @ChrisEriksen8 ▏” was tweeted by Manchester United. Our midfielder recently went to a partner school of the MU Foundation to hand out sack gifts and take part in a PE class.
Before Christmas, Christian Eriksen visited a junior school in Old Trafford without anyone knowing.
