June saw the United squad feature in a trailer for Independence Day Resurgence. Independence Day had created waves back when the original film was released in the late 90s, thanks to the films special effects which were well ahead of the times. Despite the new age resurrection not faring well at the box office, the United squad did play their part in the promotion of the film.

The promo shows a lot of members of the United squad including Daley Bind, Chris Smalling, Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and co. forming an elite flying squadron, created to combat alien forces invading the Earth.

The United players fly into the throes of danger, launching a heroic assault on the alien spaceship, and saving planet Earth in the process. With loads of comic elements spattered throughout the trailer, it was a fun watch and received over 200,000 views on Youtube. The highlight was Daley Blind pointing out how Jeff Goldblum was mispronouncing his name.
