And I'm going to bring you to a free podcast from the US tour. I've been here for a week now.

I spoke to some very interesting people ranging from taxi drivers from Tajistan, or was it,

Kyrgyzstan, his neighbour. I spoke to lots of footballers as well. I've met lots of people associated with Manchester United

on and off the record.

It's an important thing to do pre-season to build up contacts,

especially at a time when there's been so many changes at a club like Manchester United.

And I'm not just done United stuff as well. I met David Moyes today. I'm going to see people from Bournemouth. But our first

guest on this podcast is a Manchester lad. He is a United fan. He's an award-winning journalist.

He writes for the athletic. It's Adam Crafton and he now lives in New York City.

So I thought it'd be good to ask Adam and welcome to United Westands podcast, Adam.

Thank you for having me.
