WINTER is coming for Manchester United.

As the new season dawns on Jose Mourinho and his squad, the Special One welcomed some special guests to his sun-drenched training camp in Los Angeles.

Ahead of the highly anticipated new season of hit show Game of Thrones, one of its most popular characters – and one of its most talked about – joined United players at UCLA.

John Bradley-West, who plays Samwell Tarly of the Night’s Watch, and Joe Dempsie, who plays Gendry (who hasn’t been seen since season four) popped by.

Bradley-West revealed he was a United fan by wearing a black away shirt from last season.

Comedian Patrick Kielty, also a massive Manchester United fan, was also at the session.

United players have been pictured alongside a number of A-listers and sports stars on their pre-season trip.

Last week Gary Oldman and Julia Roberts were among a number of actors to drop in at training, while Jamie Foxx was at an Adidas event with some players.

United won their first pre-season game 5-2 against Los Angeles Galaxy and face their second game on Monday night.

Mourinho is going to experiment with two up front against Real Salt Lake, partnering Lukaku with young England star Marcus Rashford.

The Portuguese also admitted last week that he was looking into a deal to bring back Zlatan Ibrahimovic when he recovers from injury.

United have agreed a fee with Inter Milan today to bring in £40million star Ivan Perisic.

Mourinho is also chasing a deal with Chelsea for defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic.
