There is no better time to see the players of the Premier League team Manchester United than now, as Team India is in Manchester for the fourth Test. The players then arrived at the legendary club's Carrington training complex, and the unexpected crossover created a stir on social media.
Adidas, the company that sponsors both teams' uniforms, was instrumental in setting up the session. Both teams' players engaged in a variety of activities. Rishabh Pant attempted a penalty kick, and Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj was spotted bowling at United defender Harry Maguire.
Immediately after the encounter, several incredible photos went viral. The day when world-class midfielder Bruno Fernandes and wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant would be in the same frame may have seemed unthinkable to a Manchester United and Indian cricket fan. There was also a picture of the United midfielder with Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj.

Siraj laughed with Amad Diallo, Jasprit Bumrah was seen talking to Mason Mount, while Indian captain Shubman Gill posed with Bruno Fernandes. Kuldeep Yadav, an Indian spinner and ardent football club supporter, was spotted having a lengthy conversation with Amorim. Both teams switched jerseys, with Gill wearing United's recognisable red shirt and Bruno wearing the Indian Test jersey. Additionally, the teams took group shots with the caption, "United in Manchester."
Even though football and cricket are two different sports with different rules of play, Team India and Manchester United have a great history and are adored by millions of people around the world. Both teams have a significant worldwide fan following and a rich history.
The tourists are behind 1-2 in the five-match series against England going into the fourth Test. England won in Leeds and London, but they also won the second Test in Edgbaston. India needs to win the Manchester Test, which starts on July 23, to advance in the series with two games remaining. The management has added pacer Anshul Kamboj as cover due to injury worries with bowlers Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep. Kamboj was spotted with the team when they were playing football.
