But it was a chance of a lifetime for 11 lucky children from around the world as tjeu swapped shifts with the Manchester United starting eleven.

The children were flew in from Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, South Korea and the United States by the club's sponsor Chevrolet.

But the stunt was not such a lucky charm - as Manchester United started their season with a 2-1 loss.

Wayne Rooney equalised for Manchester United but goals from Sung-Yong Ki in the first half and Gylfi Sigurdsson in the second secured the win for Swansea.
