A football fan's final wish came true when four Manchester United stars paid him a visit an hour before he died.
Patrick Lawler, 73, wanted to meet the players before his death so his family launched an appeal on social media.
Granddaughter Kayleigh Lawler Carson posted on Sunday: "I want to get this as a surprise, he's a MASSIVE fan".
Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Ashley Young and Timothy Fosu-Mensah then turned up at Mr Lawler's home in Wythenshawe before he died on Tuesday.
The initial Facebook plea was shared 1,015 times before the players visited him after training. They posed for photographs and signed autographs while they were there.
