It’s been a long, long time coming but we’re all looking forward so much to facing Tottenham on Friday evening. This is what we’ve all been training very, very hard for since lockdown started.
This week is hugely important in terms of our preparation for Spurs, and we had some good friendly games against West Brom at Old Trafford over the weekend. We split into two teams so everybody got some minutes and getting that time in was the most important aspect of the afternoon by a long way.
A few of the lads won’t have played 90 minutes for a very long time, especially the lads like Rashy and Paul who have had injuries, and getting that playing time for the whole squad was easily the most important thing.
