MANCHESTER UNITED fan Hughie Fury met his heroes at training - the day before he hopes to become just as big a name as them.
The Brit is gunning for Joseph Parker's WBO world heavyweight title at Manchester Arena on Saturday in the biggest night of his career so far.
And he took inspiration by watching United go through their paces at at their Aon Training Complex in Carrington before posing for photos.
Fury, 23, who comes from nearby Stockport, tweeted later: "Great morning watching all these guys do their thing on the field."
He was snapped with stars like Antonio Valencia, Chris Smalling, Romelu Lukaku, Marouane Fellaini and Eric Bailly.
But his dad and trainer Peter seemed more busy chatting with Old Trafford chief Jose Mourinho.
United are famous for nicking vital late goals.
And Fury must hope he can last the distance too against New Zealander Parker, who is odds-on favourite to win the battle of the unbeaten big bangers.
Half of Fury's 20 victories have come by knockout, while 25-year-old Parker has taken out 18 of his 23 victims.

The two went face to face at Old Trafford on Thursday before their final pre-fight press conference.
And Fury looked even more relaxed when he met Lukaku and Co on Friday.
Second-placed United will expect to at least stay level on points with neighbours and leaders City on Saturday when Mourinho's men visit Southampton.
Fury, though, will have a few hours more to wait after that before knowing if, for once, he has overshadowed the two Manchester giants in their own backyard with an historic triumph for British heavyweight boxing.
