#UnitedandMe: Zainab, My life as an Old Trafford ball assistant

The first participant to tell their #UnitedandMe story is Old Trafford ball assistant and Stretford resident, Zainab.

What makes Zainab’s story unique is that she’s one of the first female ball assistants to work a full season at the Theatre of Dreams.

Through her journey, Zainab demonstrates that her increased determination and self-confidence have been as a result of working on a match day and taking pride in her role at the club.
