It was an unbelievable feeling. I hadn’t been on the membership for too lengthy, I’d had 5 – 6 video games of coaching and obtained thrown straight into the debut at Outdated Trafford, first Premier League recreation of the season, in opposition to Chelsea, all my household and mates within the stadium.

It was an incredible day, the most effective days of my soccer profession. Profitable 4-0, it couldn’t have been extra excellent. The environment… I couldn’t consider how good it was and the way impressed I used to be with all the pieces about it. It was an unbelievable event for me and my household.
