Three generations of the Cranmer family came over to England to repaint and repair the totem pole that will be on display in the Museum of Museums at the Trafford Centre.
The pole was orginally donated to Manchester Liners at Salford Docks in the late 1960s to mark the area's trade links with the Canadian communities. It stood near the company’s headquarters, but was removed in 2005 and fell into disrepair.
When the Indians were invited over from Canada to do the restoration work it was discovered they were a footballing family connected to the Cormorants club on the West Coast of Canada and were United fans.
Salford Councillor Steve Cohen wrote to the Reds to ask if they could visit Carrington and Sir Alex invited them along.
The Indians sang a victory song to the Reds boss and they exchanged football shirts with Ryan Giggs. Tweet

If we're the injuns then I guess Manchester City are the cowboys!
Injun is a word that refers to people of native Indian Heritage. Something which i'm guessing none of the Men in the picture above have, nice try though. Lets see if they will post that
Let's hope 'Big Chief Fergie' get's some scalps this season, Rumour has it he's already got Mancini's
The Glazers must be so proud of SAF, their little lapdog.
Revolution, the 3 men are from the Namgis people of Alert Bay, they are called First Nation Indians, from B.C Canada. They came over to Salford to restore the Totem Pole that Chief Doug Cranmer carved in 1969.
There's a new 'Sheriff in town and Fergo and all the rest of you 'Rags' had better get used to it or 'Get out of our Town'!
Don't suppose those injuns could do the republic of mancunia a favour by scalping the glazer tribe for us?
SAF should wear that headdress at all games - that would turn a few heads!
I see the red moderator didn`t show my post on here yet such as Mencil regularly post rubbishy comments on the Blue side. Let`s have some fair moderating please.
