British boxer Chris Eubank Jr trains with Man Utd in eye-catching new away kit on U.S pre-season tour - and sends strong 'career change' message to Erik ten Hag

The 34-year-old, a dedicated fan of the Red Devils, flew from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to join the squad during their pre-season tour in the United States. During the training session in Los Angeles, Eubank Jr wore the club's latest blue away kit, emblazoned with the number 10 on the back. He shared a video on his Instagram story, capturing moments where he was seen stretching and also doing a bit of ball work.

Eubank Jr further delighted fans by posting pictures on social media with Rashford and Mount. He even reached out to Erik ten Hag and humorously suggested the manager sign him up as he is ready to make a "career change".

The two-time IBO super-middleweight interim champion wrote on Instagram: "Too late for a career change? PUT ME IN COACH!! @manchesterunited."

Eubank Jr's passion for Manchester United is no secret. Last year, he also spent time with the team during their pre-season preparations in America. In a 2023 interview with the club's website, he spoke about his connection with the players, saying: "I know these guys, I’ve followed them for years. They’re a great bunch of boys. I’m close with a few of them. We’re athletes and they appreciate the things that I do in the boxing ring."

United, fresh off a 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at SoFi Stadium, are gearing up for their next friendly matches against Real Betis and Liverpool. These games will serve as critical preparation before they take on arch-rivals Manchester City in the traditional Community Shield curtain-raiser on August 10.
