And the So, All right Daniel, we've just seen United Beat Aston Villa for the second time in the month.

0:31.6

Pretty good. How are you? Yes, yeah good. Yeah, we did it. I think we'd have all took that as Ryan Giggs would say and yeah there was some stuff to like and some stuff to like this but they're finding ways to win games to win football matches now.

0:47.0

That's improvement, isn't it, or not winning them?

0:50.0

I believe so. It's my deep analysis, yeah.

0:55.0

It was odd the...

0:57.0

because you come out,

0:58.0

ten-half for the lack of it before because he kept getting injuries but just that

2:00.2

that continuity of selection selection is really helpful.

2:03.1

And we, because you're getting players who are building relationships with each other,
