Here’s who was sitting beside each other on Manchester United’s flight to China

Unlikely flight buddies

Who are the messers down the back and who are the lads in the book club?

We can picture it now – Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard nudging Ander Herrera’s seat as he’s getting stuck into his fruit salad.

Manchester United have touched down in China and didn’t they look well boarding the Aeroflot plane to get there?

As soon as the lads were on-board, they stripped down to their cosies and posing for snaps. It was interesting to see who partnered up for the long-haul flight.

Memphis’ team shot, which makes it look like the lads are off to Santa Ponza on a sun holiday, gives us a fair impression of the travel buddies but player selfies reveal a bit more.
