Luke Shaw was part-time tour guide at Old Trafford recently in order to put a smile young fans’ face for a special VIP experience.
Amy Pustelnik, 17, is a lifelong Manchester United fan who sees Shaw as one of her favourite players. She even set up a dedicated Instagram fan account for the left-back to help support him through the broken leg he suffered last season.
On a break from school, Amy and her mum Rebecca drove from their home in Nottingham up to United’s Carrington training centre in the vague hope of grabbing a souvenir photo with Shaw.
However, Shaw went one better and instead arranged to give his super-fan a special personalised tour of Old Trafford as a token of gratitude for her continued support.
“Luke started following my page earlier this year and I was really shocked so I asked him if I came down to Carrington if he would stop for me so I could get a picture,” Amy explained to the Manchester Evening News.
“When he came out he stopped and had pictures with loads of fans and he asked me if I had been to Old Trafford before.
“I told him I had been last season and then he asked me if I wanted to go in his car to the ground and have a tour. I couldn’t believe it.”
Just to round off the magical day, Shaw put the icing on the cake by blessing Amy with a signed United shirt to take home with her.
