MANCHESTER UNITED stars were tested in pre-season training by boxing star Chris Eubank Jr.

The huge Red Devils fan flew from Las Vegas to Los Angeles to meet the Premier League team.

And he participated in training as the team prepared for the new season.

Snaps showed the boxer posing with United stars including Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford.

The fighter joked online: “Too late to change career? Put me on the trainer!

And he took part in training while the team played a friendly against Prem rivals Arsenal.

Last year, asked about his love for Manchester United, Eubank said: “I know these boys, I’ve followed them for years. They’re a great group of kids. I’m close to some of them.

“We are athletes and they appreciate the things I do in the boxing ring. We all know how hard and dedicated you need to be to reach the top.

“These guys are at the top of the sport, so we vibe with each other. The energy is very exciting.”

Eubank, 34, has been out of the ring since defeating Liam Smith in a rematch last September.

He has been spending the summer in Las Vegas training and playing poker until the early hours of the morning with Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr in some of the city’s biggest casinos.

The boxer still wants to face Canelo Alvarez, despite having opted to sign a new contract with UK promoter Boxxer.

He was in talks to face Mexican Alvarez in September and was the favorite until Edgar Berlanga won the fight.

But now that he has signed with Ben Shalom, there are doubts as to whether he will land a shot at the undisputed super middleweight champion.

He could now face a potential rematch with Billy Joe Saunders – although he has been out of the ring since 2021 – or Conor Benn, who is currently under a temporary suspension from UK Anti-Doping.
