Pakistan star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi is in the United Kingdom and is enjoying his break from cricket. On his United Kingdom tour, he recently visited the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ at Old Trafford home ground of Manchester United. During his visit to Old Trafford, he posted a picture of his visit and he got a special gift from the club.
Meanwhile, Manchester United gifted the Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi a specially customized jersey with his name on the back “Afridi” and the No. 10 on his jersey. The iconic No. 10 was once worn by many legendary players like David Beckham, and Wayne Rooney and currently, it is No.10 used by Marcus Rashford.
He also visited the Manchester United dressing room and clicked photos as Manchester United shared them on their social account. Along with the caption, "The Eagle has landed. Great to see you at the Theatre of Dreams, @IShaheenAfridi10 — you’re welcome back anytime," as Sportskeeda.

Manchester United will aim to win first trophy of the season
Meanwhile, Manchester United are back in England after their pre-season tour came to an end. Their pre-season campaign was a roller roster ride as many star players got injured. Ahead of the Premier League season, Manchester United dealt with their injury problems and it will be a big task for Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag.
Before starting their Premier League camping Manchester United will face their arch-rivals Manchester City in the FA Community Shield title match. Both teams will aim to win the first piece of silverware to start the season on a winning note.
Currently, Shaheen Shah Afridi is not having a good time in cricket as during the recently ended ICC T20 World Cup which took place in the USA and West Indies the pacer could not manage to get only five wickets as Pakistan were knocked out in group stage only. After the ICC T20 World Cup Shaheen Shah Afridi is on break and hasn’t played any form of cricket. He will be back ahead of the Bangladesh Test series.
