Kevin De Bruyne has surprised young Manchester City fans by dressing up as Father Christmas, as the club held a Christmas event at their training ground, as well as visiting young children in hospital to hand out 1600 presents.
City's Christmas campaign has so far raised £190,000, which will provide 76,000 hours of free football sessions through City in the Community. The club welcomed over 400 pupils from 15 local primary schools to a Christmas festival at the City Football Academy recently, while 50 senior citizens and young carers were invited to a lunch at the Etihad, and a number of toddlers were given a Christmas party at the club, too.
At the Christmas festival, De Bruyne and teammate Cole Palmer surprised youngsters by dressing up in sky blue Father Christmas outfits and handing out presents, and other first-teamers including Erling Haaland also visited the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital to hand out 400 gift bags - totalling 1,600 presents - to children who will spend the festive period in hospital.
