Sometimes in pre-season everything comes together in a bizarre fashion off-the-pitch and this week has been no exception.First there was movie star Tom Hanks meeting the Aston Villa team on their tour of the United States, and then there was Arsenal and England stars receiving Kung Fu lessons from a Shaolin monk.
Mulanchester City: Roberto Mancini and actor Jackie Chan
Barcroft
Roberto Mancini may not be particularly happy with the club at the moment but meeting Chan and the news of Vincent Kompany's new six-year deal seemed to bring a smile to his face.Tomorrow his Premier League champions will play Arsenal at Beijing's phenomenal Bird's Nest stadium in what should be a remarkable game. Robin van Persie won't feature against the club that has so publically courted him, and another potential destination for the Dutch striker has fallen through with Juventus seemingly opting to take Edin Dzeko over the Arsenal no. 10 - perhaps even funding the Sky Blues' own move for RvP.
