This is the record-breaking goalscoring wonderkid Norman Whiteside speaking, not merely a Manchester United fanatic waxing lyrical in the warm glow of victory, over a couple of pints.

“I love it. I love it. I love it,” he says.
On a special evening at Old Trafford, United’s youngest-ever goalscorer mingles with fans from 12 countries. It’s a unique event, but the first of many called ‘The Warm Up’, bringing members of global Supporters Clubs together on the eve of a home match.
