Manchester United Seattle Tour 2011‏ - YouTube
A curious thing happened to the Manchester United team bus as the squad left their Seattle training base earlier this week. It stopped.
Now a bus stopping is not exactly jaw-dropping news, granted, but it is when you consider the context within which it came to a halt.
For the bus carrying Sir Alex Ferguson and his squad stopped to greet a group of United fans who had waited patiently outside the training camp, hoping to snatch a glimpse of their heroes.
What happened next was nothing short of remarkable, as Ferguson spotted the fans and instructed the driver to pull over and let them on to the bus to meet the players (as you can see in the video below).
I LOVE MY UNITED!
