The Key Stage Two pupils posed a number of questions to Michael and Robbie, who were keen to share their experiences and advice with the children.
Cambridge United's community sport manager, Luke Harradine, said: "We are always looking to work closely with schools in Cambridgeshire and with Abbey Meadows on the doorstep of the Football Club, we're delighted to join in with a topic we are extremely passionate about. The pupils love seeing the footballers, so it's great for us to be able to take them along to events like this and let them pass on their advice and experience to the children."
