Yeah, I think it feels that way, but I've been here before.

I think when you are so abrupt, blunt about it, then there seems to be no way back, really.

And I think he's probably now at a point where he's accepting that. It feels like to me.

Hello and welcome to Shrefford Paddock. My name is Joe, and this is Inside United.

I'm joined as always by Laurie Whitwell from The Athletic.

But Laurie, you're not in the studio. Talk me through where you are.

I am in the national stadium of Kuala Lumpur. And there's a lot of loud music going on to really rev up the crowd outside, which is why I'm doing the kind of DJ thing by pressing my headphones to my face so that I can hear

you more than the David Getsa song, maybe this in the background.

And yeah, I feel pretty rude having my sunglasses on, so maybe I'll take these off, is that better?

I just wanted to start with the sunglasses just to sort of, you know, show that I'm somewhere very hot

than if you can settle that by my red face. But it's crazy. I mean, there's so many people

here, massive queues outside, red shirts as far as the eye can see. So many food stores. It's a bit

different than the burger van outside Old Trafford. There's all kinds of incredible smelling

cuisine outside. So yeah, it's been brilliant to walk through the crowd,

both with the crowd to get here.

It looks fantastic.

You can tell there's just a slight sort of shimmer on the forehead,

which suggests to me a humid environment,

but you're looking very good,

and it's got that kind of dewy glow that a lot of people are going for these days,

so I think you're looking fantastic.

There's loads to get through today, though, of course. We'll mention a little bit about where you are in the preseason tour or postseason
