Ronaldo Leads Manchester Utd Stars in Act of Christmas Kindness at Children’s Hospitals

• Manchester Unites stars continued their tradition of presenting gifts to patients and staff of hospitals during the festive season
• Due to the spread of the Omicron variant of the pandemic, United players were not physically present at hospitals this year
• Instead, the Red Devils recorded special clips to inspire the patients while impressive gifts were also sent across

Premier League club Manchester United Cristiano Ronaldo have continued their long-standing tradition of sending gifts and messages to staff and patients across hospitals located in Greater Manchester.

The Red Devils were unable to personally visit the hospitals due to the continued spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant.

But that did not deter the club as they delivered presents to them and then players recorded special video messages to encourage staff and patients at the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, The Christie and Francis House Children’s Hospice.

Mirror are reporting that both the men’s and women’s teams splashed a number of United-themed presents including hats, shirts, and annuals to lift spirits around the hospitals for the festive period.

Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo also took part of the exercise and then said:

"It is unfortunate that we could not visit the hospitals this year, as it is something I really liked to do when I was last here at Old Trafford.

"It’s so important that we give our support to the young people at this special time of year and it’s an honour for me to be part of this again."

Ronaldo's teammate Scott McTominay explained how important it is to continue this tradition around this time of year.

The Scotland international added:

"Christmas time is such a special time of year; it's important for the families and the kids to feel loved and feel that warmth around Christmas.

"The best part of being a footballer is seeing the smiles on fans faces."
