The youngster won a dream trip to Old Trafford to watch his heroes in their final home game of the Premier League.

He won the trip to Manchester during the latest MUSS programme which included two return flights, accommodation and most importantly, two VIP tickets to watch the Red Devils take on Swansea City.

“We really couldn't believe he had won in the prize draw,” said Changa Clinton Ingram, Karim's father.

“The whole experience was just incredible; we both particularly loved Manchester and the people who we met.

“The atmosphere at Old Trafford was electric, especially when Scholes scored the first goal, back heeled into the net.

“I've seen a renewed energy from Karim for the game since we returned to Abu Dhabi. He is definitely a diehard United fan but his enthusiasm for players such as Wayne Rooney is at an all time high right now. What I particularly love about Manchester United is their philosophy to football and the way they develop their young players; it's inspiring.”
