Photos: Manchester United's Jose Mourinho, Pogba and 'ors meets with rescued Thai football team

The 12 boys of the Thai football team rescued from a cave after 17 days were excited to meet Jose Mourinho.

The Manchester United manager, 55, hugged the 12 lads and their coach as they visited the club’s training ground on Saturday ahead of our Pride of Britain Awards.

The Red Devils had invited the team, called the Wild Boars, to visit when news of their safe recovery broke.

Part of their itinery is to thank British cave divers John Volanthen and Rick Stanton, who helped rescue them in July.

The lads will be at Old Trafford today to watch Manchester United play against Everton.

French skipper,  Pogba was also at hand to meet with the Thai lads.
