The session was held at the club's Carrington training ground and was the product of a combined effort from the Manchester United Foundation and the National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS).

The visit was part of the Premier League Creating Chances programme and involved young people aged 8-18 from schools across the north-west, who attend regular sessions as part of Manchester United's Foundation's disability programme. The Foundation holds deaf-friendly football sessions and deaf-friendly festivals in partnership with the NDCS. The aim of the sessions is to encourage deaf youngsters into football by making facilities and programmes more accessible.
