Some of Australian cricket's brightest stars have been left starstruck after rubbing shoulders with Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson, coach Erik ten Hag and David Beckham's son Cruz at Old Trafford.
Mitchell Marsh, Nathan Lyon, Todd Murphy, Alex Carey, and Marcus Harris showed up for United's final match of the season and witnessed the Red Devils come from behind to beat Fulham 2-1 on Sunday.
The Aussie team is currently in England as they prepare to lock horns with India once again in the World Test Championship final on June 7 before the Ashes series begins on June 16.
While it is not known if the Aussies who attended the match at Old Trafford are huge football fans, they definitely seemed to enjoy themselves.
Alex Carey posted a series of photos to his Instagram page as he and his teammates posed alongside Ferguson, ten Hag and Beckham.
'Great day at the footy, thank you @manchesterunited,' Carey wrote.
In another post, Mitchell Marsh and Nathan Lyon made a score prediction as they stood on the famous pitch before the match started.
'G'day guys, Nathan Lyon and Mitch Marsh from the Australian cricket team. It's amazing to be here at Old Trafford,' said Marsh.
'Gaz is a Liverpool fan, so I'm not sure about that, but I've got 2-0 to Man United.'
Lyon then chimed in with his result prediction: 'I'm going 3-1 to Manchester United. It's unbelievable to be here.'
United sealed third spot with the comeback win against Fulham and have maintained momentum heading into next weekend's FA Cup final against bitter rivals Manchester City.
For the first time in history, the Aussie cricketers will not not play any warm-up matches ahead of their Ashes tour, with the squad prioritising mental and physical freshness instead.
The move has been slammed by former Aussie stars Allan Border and Darren Lehmann, who both believe the side needs a few matches to prepare.
With the growth of T20 leagues, scheduling warm-up matches ahead of overseas tours is becoming increasingly tricky, and Australian selector George Bailey believes not playing those contests is now the new normal.
'It feels like this is becoming the norm for Test tours, around tour games,' Bailey told reporters.
'It feels like there's more tours that you don't have one than when you do, so our team's reasonably well prepared in terms of knowing what you need outside of those.'
