Man United Sign Santos! Rashford To Return & How England Can Stop Haaland

29:24Nicky:I had to spit that pickle out. That pickle was fucking horrendous. The pickle's really nice. Fuck it, Al.

29:33Nicky:I bet we'll try the pickles. You know what that's like? You know when you see someone, when you're out walking, and they walk around with them bags? Yeah. It tastes like whatever's in that bag dosed in salt. It's got a bit of salt in it. Fucking awful. I've got to say something, Jack. This is the worst taste off we've had. It's fucking horrendous. Fucking horrific, this. them pickles I'd rather eat crickets all day long than the English prick up I'm taking them pickles on you two have gone got the fuck you left me on the massive pickles what's your white shirt with that paddy what's your white shirt with that paddy going before you use this in it will be later

30:19fucking hell that's awful

30:21Nicky:do you not like onions? I love onions I like pickles but they're not pickles that I normally are I want to see what the jar is Paddy that is a pathetic effort he farted he's right he farted he's coughing and farting and saying

30:39he's falling through

30:40Nicky:You might have touched cloth there, Paddy. Fucking hell, I coughed farting. I couldn't fucking breathe.

30:53Fucking hell, those two are horrific.

30:55Nicky:I told you, that's the worst taste I've had. I mean, I do watering, lads. Oh, disgusting. Do you know what? I can't separate. They're both equally as horrific. Do you know what I think it is with them? Do you know why they're so bad? I was expecting that to be bad, but I was expecting that to be nice. I don't know what's wrong with you. and pickles are lovely. Are they brown? What's that pickle? That's soaked in some for a while, aren't they? It's crap. It took my fucking breath away, that. It's fucking crap. What about them? It's like fermented pickles, that. Oh, I've got to say, I'm with a lot.

31:22You can't, they're equally as horrific and they both have different... With the lads, I like the pickles really nice. Right, well, if he likes the pickle, it's pickles. Oh, well, you like the caviar, don't you? You like the caviar. I forgot you like the caviar. Do you know what, buddy? I don't like either. What do you want? The reason why I'm picking that

31:37Nicky:because I expect it to be a nice one because we all like pickles. They're shit and that's not much better. I wouldn't say they're shit. I'd just say they're absolutely, they take your breath away because some people love a strong pickle. That's the pickle for them. And with you, I like a silver skin, a mild pickle. This is, no. It's rank. Yeah. With that, you may as well pull a fish out there if you can see it and bite into it. Right. Anyone got a coin? We're going to have to toss a coin. Here you go. I'll toss a coin for it. that's tails tails who's winning tails for who tails is pickled onions you're right pickled onions has won it right there you go oh midnight snack powered by midnight built for no not like those old school bookers it's quick to use simple to navigate no messing about remember you've got to be 18 or older and please gamble responsibly back to that at the england camp and the camaraderie and everything else did you see Ed Sheeran pops up to do a few songs I did say about that yeah I'm jealous I love Ed Sheeran it feels a bit awkward great lad I absolutely love Ed Sheeran I'm not sure they're popping up I think I'd feel a bit awkward watching him oh no I wouldn't what's that by the pool of just like 10 years oh a big dream Ed Sheeran oh so was it by the pool did he just get the kids out it looked like it yeah the angle tops off by the pool I went to watch Ed Sheeran twice well three times actually I went once at the Royal Albert Hall and there was only 300 people there it was a smaller venue and he spoke about all his songs and what they're about and his new album but they had no mic it was all acoustic and I was quite close it was the honestly it was the best concert I've ever been to whatever you what are you laughing at what are you laughing at it sounded like he said acoustic I thought he was playing snooker or something he's all over the pronunciation he's got a bad neck on the fucking it sounds really good honestly it was fucking out this world and like some people it's not everyone's cup of tea but I think he's fucking unbelievable yeah genius he's basically a one man he does it he's a one man band guy he's a one man band guy he's a one man band guy he's a one man band guy he's a one man band guy he's a one man band guy he's a one man band guy he'd be back he'd be my favourite guest to come on here now Ed Sheeran just put it out there he's a big football fan isn't he a nice lad I'm sure if he's available he's international fucking pop stars though I mean we've got Niall on they're never at home are they they're always Niall Niall he's a great lad but the thing with Niall he lives I think he's in London at a minute so he's just catching him at the right time isn't it Ed if you're watching hit us up pal bring the old whatever that is I don't know what I'm doing one of his songs is about New York his missus isn't he I think it might have been New York but not that I'm a not that I'm a stalker do you think you're on a bit of a highway to nothing if you're coming in to entertain a football team as just like there's just a few lads there and they're like oh just do us 10 minutes in the corner I think it'd be awkward wouldn't it it must feel bad I reckon they paid him to do that no he'd just come and do it himself but I mean if they don't sit like Ed Sheeran singing in front of you they're weirdos anyway I'm sure it'd be brilliant to listen to do you know what I mean I think it'd feel a bit awkward if Ed Sheeran started doing that he's not doing that he doesn't play his fucking guitar like that stop doing that I mean what are you doing itching your chest do you know in your profession if you had to go and tell a few jokes what would that feel like horrific you're better off because your jokes are no good or is it because is it the environment mode because no one wants to fucking if you're in an England camp there's a few we sat around no one wants to one at corner going hey funny thing happened to me on the way here today hey have you ever noticed how carrots aren't straight anymore like who the fuck wants to eat that carrot I don't call that for him because when we was in when we was in camp of England I would take anything for a change of scenery because it is fucking there's nothing going on can I just say if Ed Sheeran turned up when you lads were playing You'd be going, hey, it's only a quarter, Ed, fuck off.

35:33You fancy getting my poo? Put that away, Ed. Come back if it's the semis, mate, and bring Mick Jagger with you. But after that, fucking do one.

35:40Nicky:To be fair, that's a really good point. See? No, that's not a good point. You're killing time. So you're all right to have Ed Sheeran performing, but you can't have a bit of a sing-song straight after the game. Well, the thing is going on, isn't he? Liam? Liam Gallin? He said if they win it, he's going to sing Wonder Woman. Yeah, but that's winning it. If you win it, you fucking win. We like a bit of that. I get that it'd be a good crack that wouldn't it but honestly the time in camp you've got to do anything to keep your time occupied you have haven't you where's this Wonderwall thing come from after games I don't know I don't know great song but I'm not feeling it as part of the England thing but that's just I don't know well it was Sweet Caroline it's always something isn't it yeah it's coming home free lines and all that it never fucking comes on Sweet Caroline's still going in the pubs it's transcended it's on the all sports it used to be at the stadium after the game I did not do it on the pitch the diamond must be absolutely fucking kicked up to eyeballs it's had a full resurgence that song with the royalties and what have you but just on the coming in entertaining footballers and you're on a highway to nothing I was with former world number one snooker player Ken Doherty the other week Ken Doherty he's Northern Ireland he's won the world championship he's a massive United fan I know he is I met him once in a nightclub I'm glad that you know who he is you met him in a nightclub I'm glad this is great so he says to me Willy Bardellos Dublin I'm talking to him and he's a great lad and he's telling me how much of a red he is and how he loves this podcast and this that and the other and I'll say oh you must come on one time and he said when he won the world championships Sir Alex Ferguson got in touch with him and said come down to the ground with the trophy I'll introduce you to the lads and I'll say oh fucking brilliant so he said he took him into this room and you're all in having your lunch or wherever it were pretty much sorry sorry when was this do you know the date because it was a character or was it a cliff I think it was a game I don't know which one I don't know which one but anyhow my thing is he's walked in he said he's stood there and Alex Ferguson's gone lads Ken Docherty world champion and you've just gone fucking carried on eat him left him there pre-match it was important though isn't it but that's exactly my point we used to get a few people do you know he said the only person who came over to him and congratulated him Roy Keane no Ryan Giggs no David Beckham no me no me no well fucking hell we've said all the team there come on no you've not Jemba Jemba no yep hey Gary Neville Cantona you are he got up he said I felt awkward or anything like he said he got over that's just a good story for him no he said he got up he come over shook his hand he went congratulations well done and he said after he did that then a few lads went oh we'll go over now but that's what I mean about you well we have to apologise to Ken for that because winning the world championships is amazing but if you're playing a game and you've not been told he's coming in it's the fucking manager's fault what he should have done I might have been starstruck to be fair after the game we should have done it after the game where we've done our job after the game you've lost everyone in fucking silence flip the coin flip the coin right we're going into Ken's dressing room before he goes out at the crucible but he's not going to fucking come over to us is he he's got a point with that I was probably a little bit starstruck because I'd like to Ken if you're watching pal let's get you on the podcast do you know who else came in the dressing room when he won it Sean Murphy did he did he get the same response fucking silence yeah probably no we met him he came in the dressing room I think so he was weren't eaten do you know what we used to get like a few famous people in before the game that you ignored we had like a small players lounge that we all used to what was the old driver yeah wait a minute we all used to sit in little groups and remember the the motorbike the superbikes Barry Sheen no Carl Fogarty oh yeah yeah so he's going around Gaffer's introducing to everyone with his family so he comes to see us and says hello hello we've got a little corner haven't we yeah so he goes round the corner around, meeting everyone still.

39:56Nicky:The room's tiny. Herman Giggs is, meow! Just make it start making them fucking noises. It's fucking embarrassing. Oh, it was embarrassing. Meow! Every time he walked. Every time he walked. Fucking hell. And I bet Carl's gone at first time. And after a bit he's gone for four years now. He's a god as well, isn't he, in that world sport? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. God, he was seven times. Remember his eyes? Seven times he won it, I think. I can't remember his eyes he had like really nice eyes I seen him about probably about six months ago unbelievable popping out eyes I seen him about six months ago in a restaurant and I thought you know straight away we're all cold but you did did you do that no it wasn't me doing it Ryan was doing it but yeah we had some loads of people going in that dressing room right getting back on to England as well lads Dan Byrne gets the game does brilliantly against Mexico I think I know I'm going to ask you the question is he going to be starting in the next game no I don't think so I think Tuchel has got his partnerships throughout the team I think if you look at the partnerships he's definitely going to be with Gaye I'm thinking Harland no I think they're going to kick the two at the back Gaye and Conce and then you've got Rice and Anderson and you've got Bellingham and Kane right down the spine his wingers he mixes between the four and the full back's the problem the left back he'll play Nicol Riley the right back he'll probably play Spence Jad Spence now The only thing he could do, looking at all around the beach, suspended there, is play Dan Byrne left-back.

41:27No way.

41:28Nicky:No, I don't think he will, but if he's thinking about... I think Ireland's only going to score one goal against Dan Byrne. But that's probably when Dan Byrne's playing as a semi-half. I think Dan Byrne's physicality and the way his presence and stuff is great to come on as a sub when it's... Like he did today, when the back's against the wall. I think he's that kind of... Defends the box unbelievably well. Set-pieces, obviously. He's aggressive. I think when the bats against the wall he's good to bring down it's a bit like a tricky game I know obviously we don't know how that game's going to go at all but just hypothetically let's say with 1-0 up and there's half hour goal would you bring him on then at 1-0 up no I think with England I think if we go 1-0 up you'll go for another goal right it's better like when Man United win their peak we'd never score 1 because you're going to probably concede 1 you're going to have to just keep going and score score more score more I think England are like that I genuinely do I just look at England now and I think we've got to go and score goals and with Norway everyone's eyes are going to be on Haaland however I think Odegaard's the one they've got to watch as well because he feeds the ball through Haaland unbelievably well it's not Odegaard but who's the player in that squad who's had the most assists for Haaland it's not Odegaard is it Noosa they've got a couple of really good players yeah Fulham Sarlath there's one I can't oh no the midfield player Berger Berger is a good player Yeah, he's a bit like Declan Rice.

42:51Nicky:Yeah, Declan Rice. All the guys who want to make some play, if he gets further up the pitch then, yeah. Noosa, the two wide players, and they actually, the other night, they took the two wide players off and brought two other ones on. I think there's a lad from Benficra, I forget his name, who played for Marino last year. He made the goal for Haaland, so they've got a lot of threats. I think England will score goals, don't get me wrong. I think the only way Dan Byrne comes on is if they're hanging on the last 10 minutes. we need to go in the last 10 minutes and stick him on set pieces you can do a bit of both it's like what Maguire would have done right okay but I do think this Norway game is a lot harder than people expect this Norway game worries me more than that Mexico game before we played them because I was like you were in Mexico I looked to their team and I thought I fancy us rightly so because Norway are a lot better than us if England would have played Mexico in New York it would have been a totally different build up to it because of the Aztec stadium and the altitude it's in Miami this is going to be the first time when we talk about the weather before it they're saying it could be 35 feeling like 40 degrees in the afternoon but I was going to say Norway it's colder than fucking UK we've had a little bit of luck with the draw and the side of the draw and little games like we're now playing at 34 degrees in Miami against a team that will not like the heat like us I heard all the guys say that because they were in America a little bit before he thinks they're okay they're a climb size to it so these players are so it these days anyway I don't think the weather matters that much to so we get time it's a party what time is the kickoff ten o 'clock it's five o 'clock in Miami is it four or five o 'clock in Miami can be scorching on well they said this morning 35 to 40 degrees when I used to play with me to play in these games it wasn't so much the heat it was the Sun yeah beam on your head it's like it's fucking awful and you've got obviously our complexion you put in fucking some cream on it dripping your eyes it's an open stadium as well no There's no aircon, there's no roof.

44:44Nicky:You are open to the elements. Right, chaps, this week, that prize guy have a massive draw. They're making someone a millionaire for just 30 pence. Head over to thatprizeguy.co.uk to enter. It'll cost you 30 pence and there's a chance of you winning a million quid. Oh, what? This week, we're chatting TV shows.

We're in there, aren't we? All the food. Food in the city. Can you shut points out?

45:42I'd have my phone at the side of me every challenge yes yes them two fucking constant I'd love it

45:51Nicky:so in case it happens I'm not going to tell you anything I'm scared of do you know what that's the secret I think I love heights I love snakes I love rats I love eating anything so yeah do you know what I'd say if the producers got me in and said we'd love you to do this show but you know obviously we want to be conscious of looking after you because they do that and then you tell them what you don't like and then they put it on you and they go what do you not like and I go I am really freaked out by Thai massages I'll go it's just the thought of like someone putting their hands on me with the ylang ylang going up and back and all that and jacuzzis how much would you do it for?

46:36oh here we go this could be sad

46:38Nicky:he's thinking about it well i think you'd be brilliant you'd be so oh yeah i'd be off in a week i think you'd be the leader of the jungle you know i'd get a bit alive and i won't like it because i'm getting bit i get restless when i can't get me sleeping and when i'm hungry i don't want to get angry hilarious i wouldn't be hilarious i wouldn't if he's losing his sleep he'd be angry

47:01he'd do that classic thing where he'd be like i just get home with everyone love it and then He'll hear like a niece biscuit thing going on. He'll be like, I'll not rise to it.

47:11Nicky:Do you know why I couldn't do it? I'd need a couple of beers all around the campfire. They have beer in there. I was singing like that. Come by, are you? I couldn't do all that. I'd be like, it's so false. You need a wee every two minutes. It'd be fucking false. I think you'd win it, Nicky. No, I wouldn't. I think you'd win it. Have any of you ever been asked to do it? No. Not Jungle. You must have. I got asked to do Celebrity Wipeout. I remember Wipeout. You must have. I remember Celebrity Wipeout. I put myself out. Sorry, I put myself out there, though, going, none of that interests me. So maybe that's a thing.

47:43What did you do? I didn't do it.

47:45Nicky:I got asked to do Celebrity Wipeout. Remember that? Do you remember that? You bounce on the big thing. Me and Freddie used to do the voiceovers for that. Is that the one where you go over a course, like, with the travel writer and do all that? No, that's gladiators. Total ninja on it, didn't you? No, no, that's gladiators. Ninja Warrior was. Ninja Warrior, that was, yeah. I think the British public deserve to see Nicky Butt in the jungle that's all I'm saying he'd be brilliant he'd win it would you do you know what I'd like and all if he gets to the family you know that bit when they go along at Ropebridge me and you stood waiting he's expecting the family and it's me and you you alright do you know what I'd really love to do a celebrity master chef I'd love to do that I'd love to I'd love to do that the only one I'd do I wouldn't do anything else because I'd be like I'd show myself up I'd be fucking but I think you'd be good on it you're good with the food and I fancy myself as a chef nah I think he'd be like he'd fuck it right up he'd fuck it right up all that heat in the kitchen he'd go fucking he'd be throwing pans and everything I'm good in the kitchen just putting it out there I've just been on the new series it's not on yet as a guest judge alright fair enough and so it were all the celebs cooking and it's not as hot as you think but it is the pressure like they do it's the time timing do they actually keep to that time I always think the line no no honestly they do they do keep to it the one thing that is does happen which I find a bit weird is if you've spent time doing your dish and you go I've got that just right yeah by the time the judge tastes it it could be stone cold that's like my fucking eggs that's like my eggs oh my god by the time you tasted them they went creamy not runny oh that is exactly like my eggs that is exactly like my eggs Nick that was 30 seconds I know what he's saying 30 seconds It was 90 seconds.

49:32Nicky:I always think about that. I timed it. 90 seconds. It's a derogatory thing. If I'm cooking, you're the last one waiting for them to taste it. It's stone cold. I feel that pain. Mine were like bullets because they're fucking waiting for his fucking... It's stone cold. Yours was still a nice egg though to be fair. It was as nice as they couldn't have been. But when I took that off, it was like... If you took mine off 90 seconds earlier, it'd have been creamy. I weren't cooking it. You were doing it yet. How can I take it? You were cooking it. No, I put it in front of you. You didn't eat it straight away.

49:54Nicky:It was in the pan 90 seconds earlier. It wasn't. I went in my pan the same time as you turned yours on. Get over to that prize guy. For fuck's sake. Please go to that prize guy. Head over to that prize guy for your chance to win a million pounds for just 30 pence. Right, just on a little bit of domestic front, lads. Well, we've got two ex-United lads here. Manchester United have signed Andre Santos 48 million quid plus 2 million pound in add-ons and a 10 % sell on clause is that definitely done yeah it's done yeah what do you think it's a surprise because we're looking at we've been looking at big hitters coming haven't we and he's looking at his potential I think and he's only 22 23 the big thing for me is if he's bought to come and start for us Man United Mark Carrick don't have time to let people bed him.

50:54Nicky:Look at this point, he'll have to start. They've got nobody else. But that's what I'm saying. So if he's done that, I think it's a shock. Now, he's obviously a talented footballer. The recruitment aren't going to get that wrong at 50 million quid. But whether or not he's going to go in and get us to that level of competing again is to be, we've got to wait and see. So has he been brought in as a player for the future? Like give him a couple of, two, three seasons. Have you watched much of him's goals yet? No. He's got legs. He's a powerful lad. he's got legs he's decent with the ball I don't think he's got an X factor where his one standout strength is his X factor he's not brilliant at passing the ball he's not brilliant at running about he's not brilliant at boxing about he's good at everything he's an all round midfielder I've seen him a little bit however you're looking at Man United's midfield we all expected a massive big signing coming whether it be whoever it's going to be Anderson I don't think I don't think there's going to be a lot of excitement about it as I put it that way why are Chelsea selling him 22, 23 year old kid and I also think he's definitely third or fourth choice because Man United went for other players before that it's common knowledge he's done that so that's a bit of an alarm who else is around who they can get now Tanale's gone it looks like Ramirez who's a really good player I still didn't think he was suited to United legs wise but he looks like he wants to go to Arsenal there's Adam Warton I suppose I was just going to say Warton I think he's still a good player and will be available yeah because they were talking to him wouldn't they do you reckon they've got to do something so they've got the Edison as well they've not finalised the medical yet they've got Edison they can't go for another midfielder they've now got to look at other positions you've got to look at right back centre forward centre back no that Edison went into the Brazil squad as cover for right back yeah did he their right back got injured and apparently played a lot of games at right back for Atalanta that's why they bought him then maybe because we need a right back how much of the Santos deal would Michael have been involved with like do you think it's an upstairs decision to bring him in or do you think Michael's going to like him?

52:55Nicky:and Scholes he'll know better than me in the recruitment world, is recruitment go and find the players and shut it down and bring it down. When he gets to the top three then he'll become part of the round table chat. He's not going to be in it all, he won't have the final say but the manager's got to have a say in it. Yeah, even at our level at League Two there's three or four years in it and you all disagree. about something at some point. It's very rare you'll all come to the part of the same manager but ultimately I think with Man United especially it will be the fellas at the top of the club who will decide and I think they might see some value in this player.

53:31Nicky:What's age? As a sell-on. Should Man United be buying players as a sell-on value? No, no, that doesn't feel very united. We need players for now. We've got the Champions League next year. We've got three games a week. It's going to be awful without these players. come out and sort of do a semi-apology? he had a little pop in his line though didn't he he said I made mistakes at United but I need to give context of what was going on at the club caveat so he'll be moaning how the club was run like every manager has done over the last whatever manager's been there he would not have been saying anything while he's not in a job because he'll still be getting paid off Man United so the minute that voids the NDA voids and he's going to be saying whatever he wants to say I've got to say it's funny seeing him in the press conference he looks like good good you can see that weight of United is finally gone he always looked well he always spoke well by the end he was fucking his eyes he wanted out he's got to take some experience with them to AC Milan I think that was a big mistake at Man United he never took anybody around him it's like they came and they were like a different group of people and didn't really want to get involved with anybody else from the club now AC Milan is just as big AC Milan is massive if he gets that wrong again he won't last very long yeah it's game over Rashford set to be reintegrated at United are you feeling about that?

54:58Nicky:I think there's only Michael can do it there's only Michael that can turn it I think it very rarely happens when a when a big player like Marcus goes to a big club on loan for a year two years whatever it is they very rarely come back and play for the team now if anyone can get somebody right I think it'd be Michael Carrick I generally hope he comes back and blows it away I do it was sad that it happened I know a lot of it was down to himself but a lot of it was down to the club not playing right positions Marcus didn't live his life right he'd be fair to say I'd imagine and it come to one big blow up and he moves he goes to Villa then goes to Barcelona one thing about Marcus Rashford when he's on his game he's a handful as you've seen with England now and I do think he's still got somewhere to give whether that be at Man United like Scully said it's going to be difficult or it goes somewhere else he's a player that when he's put on form and he's going at defenders he's exciting and I just hope to God that he gets back to United because he's under contract he's still a Man United player Michael can get an arm around him get him into pre-season and he gets a good pre-season under his belt and maybe stay at United and do well or go and get a career somewhere else because it's sad to see someone that talented not look you don't want to get 35, 36 like we've done and got to end of career and regret things and I think the way it's gone the last two or three years he will regret some stuff and I think if he can sit down at Man United talk it out with the manager and the coaches the players seem to be on board with him because I heard Maguire's quotes in the week I'd love to see him in a Man United kit wearing down that wing again like he did I would I think the problem with Marcus he got he got influenced a bit by what Ronaldo and Messi do and I know that sounds a bit weird because it's them two but I think he got really lazy out of possession he thought I'm that good and going forward he is that good he can beat people he can score goals almost the way Mbappe does really and now it's stupid again to put him on that level but he won't run back anymore I think you've seen that with England games and which is why United wingers can't United wide players cannot do that going back through the years they have to be up and down up and down and he and do you know what I think it's the same with a lot of wide players they watch Ronaldo mess in what they've done to the game is sensational but they don't do the other side of it now when you're not as good as them you've still got to do that and that side of it will put Michael off of course it will because you know what I mean you're not in possession of the ball all the time but Marcus has got that ability to actually destroy teams whether you try and centre forward so maybe you don't have to do that bit going backwards you know what I mean in wide areas well that's a good point in the England game the other day music the right the IBM DR Congo mmm don't bother his ass don't bother his are true it's cause medical can't do that for United it's cause made a good point there about the forward man United need an extra forward the character rely on the young lad on his own or and then a Kunya or way most coming in I think they're better the wide man can you know way more and one down the middle and that and them to a better feel like because they will work yeah work but but so if you want to if Marcus was to stay in there and they hadn't got a target, because it is hard going, it's all right as pundits or fans going, go and buy players.

58:16Nicky:If they're not there, you can't buy them. And then when they are there, you've got six other clubs in for them as well. So if Marcus was to come back and put him up top with Sesco, there's another option for Michael. Michael will want new players coming to that football club. 100 % he'll want that. We all want that. But it's not as easy as just going and buying them. But what he will want, Michael will be clever enough to know if he can't buy him I need numbers because I've got four competitions to play in there's clearly a reason why there's not a lot of clubs coming from Arcas when you think of him for a 26 27 million pound do you think that's his wages though I don't know I think it's got to be his wages I think a lot of it would be his attitude I don't I don't think an actual mighty part of it I think wages must be massive because if you're an Arsenal with the talent of that player 26 27 million it's nothing it's like paying 50 grand for a player in the league too it's nothing yeah do you think the fans will be glad he's back United give him a chance he always gives people a chance and with him being a local lad and come through the ranks he'll get a little bit more leeway do you know what there'll be some that won't there'll be some that will say he'll do going from his point of view I don't think he wants to be there he didn't want to be there when the last time now look that can be turned around I don't know he's had a year away and things probably will be better with Michael at the club things will be a lot better a lot better than the last manager he played London he'll have a lot better relationship with Michael there's no doubt about that but can he get that hunger back to be a Man United player again I don't know I think if he plays a few games in pre-season because he's obviously he's not played loads of games for England he's only played a certain amount of times if he goes back trains well I could see him going and scoring a few goals in pre-season and before you know it the season starts and he's naturally going to be there and then it's up to him I think that's half the problem he's not really going to get a pre-season because as soon as you get a knockout he'll get three weeks off and before you know what the league has started you're starting again the one good thing about football though with players like that who've had a little bit of a rocky patch if they do come back like you said Nicky and score a few it's all forgotten isn't it everyone's like oh great we're back but then it's up to Marcus then to take it on board that he's getting a chance and if he wants to stay there which we don't know we only will know that if he wants to stay there and he gets given a chance he has got the ability to go and take it with the scruff of the neck and go and be a superstar I genuinely do believe he's got fundamental things that's going on with him that he's not happy with for whatever reason at certain clubs but just put it down to he's purely a football on a football pitch he's got that X-Factor to go and blow any team away you know I know obviously we're in the midst of a World Cup here but weirdly I'm looking forward to the Prem starting again I can't wait can't wait see the new players I always love that beginning of the season as a fan who's coming in who's gone new managers it's always good stuff right that's it for today's the good, the bad and the football, sponsored by Midnight, the betting app that's built different.
