Game of Thrones stars Gendry and Samwell meet Manchester United players at pre-season training in LA
WINTER is coming for Manchester United.
As the new season dawns on Jose Mourinho and his squad, the Special One welcomed some special guests to his sun-drenched training camp in Los Angeles.
Ahead of the highly anticipated new season of hit show Game of Thrones, one of its most popular characters - and one of its most talked about - joined United players at UCLA.
John Bradley-West, who plays Samwell Tarly of the Night's Watch, and Joe Dempsie, who plays Gendry (who hasn't been seen since season four) popped by.
Bradley-West revealed he was a United fan by wearing a black away shirt from last season.
Comedian Patrick Kielty, also a massive Manchester United fan, was also at the session.
United players have been pictured alongside a number of A-listers and sports stars on their pre-season trip.
Last week Gary Oldman and Julia Roberts were among a number of actors to drop in at training, while Jamie Foxx was at an Adidas event with some players.
