Impossible is not Manchester United. As soon as you walk into the club, you feel the atmosphere. Everybody’s ten feet tall and thinking we can go and play against anybody. We’ve been up and down, and down and up. But whatever we are, we are United. Playing in front of 75,000 at Old Trafford. You are definitely gonna have to get used to the pressure. It’s a lot of hard work, dedication, sacrifices. You have got to take your opportunities every single minute of the day. I was twelve years old when I moved. You’re away from your family, away from your friends. You get a feeling when you put the kit on. There’s definitely something special about it. When you wear this shirt, you know that everything is possible.
