That day, all Manchester United players trained as usual as they were preparing themselves to face Arsenal that weekend.

"Okay, boys. That's all for today. See you boys tomorrow", said Solskjær. Then, all players dismissed.

"Hey, Danny. Want to have lunch with us together?" asked Maguire.

"Sure. Who else?" asked Danny.

"Well, both of us, Marcus and Jeff", said Maguire.

"Okay. Let's go", said Danny.

Later at the diner;

"So, you both feel being here with The Red Devils?" asked Maguire.

"So far so good if you ask me", said Danny.

"Same goes to me", said Jeff.

"That's good to hear. If you have any problem, just tell us or any other players in the team. I assure you, you're among friends here", said Rashford.

"Okay, we keep it in mind", said Danny.

"That's great. So, Danny. Have you found someone to replace Courtney?' asked Maguire.

"Well, not yet. Why, did you have anyone for me?" asked Danny.

"Well, there's always players on our women's team", replied Maguire.

"Hmm, not a bad idea", replied Danny.

"Huh, finally. You want to find a new girl", said Jeff.

"Well, she's happy with Haller, right. Why must I still sad about her", replied Danny.

"Great. I expected no less than that from our national striker", said Rashford. Danny just smirked.

That weekend;

All Manchester United players arrived at Emirates Stadium, London for their league match against Arsenal. After changed into the training kits, all players making their way to the pitch for the warming up session.

"So, Danny. Welcome back to London", said Maguire.

"Yeah. I can see my cousin here too", said Danny  while pointing at where Toni and some WWE UK superstars are sitting.

"Too bad Becky not around, right?" asked Jeff.

"Yeah, but it's okay. I know she supported me in this match", said Danny.

Meanwhile at the WWE NXT UK Superstar's seats;

"Danny and Jeff will play together, huh. This must be fun to watch", said Toni.

"Uggh, that make me miss Harry at Leicester, you know", said Kay Lee Ray.

"Me too" said Tegan.

"Uh-huh" said Kay Lee. Tegan blushed.

"C'mon, Kay. Don't tease her so much" said Toni. Kay Lee chuckled.

"Fine" replied Kay Lee. Then, all players returned back to the dressing room and changed into the match kits. Later, Solskjær came in.

"Okay, boys. Here is our line-up for today's match against Arsenal. de Gea (GK), Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Maguire, Shaw (DF) Lingard, Bruno, Pogba, Rashford (MF) Quinn, Rossall (FW). Now, go and bring back home 3 points from Arsenal" said Solskjær.

"Yes, coach" replied all players. Then, they make their way to the tunnel.

"Hey, you're Danny Quinn, right? Last season's top scorer" said one of the Arsenal players.

"That's me. You're Bryan Scott, right? The Canadian Ace" said Danny. Bryan chuckled.

"Well, I still have long way to go. Besides, I don't have any achievement yet like you leading England U20 squad to win U20 World Cup 3 years ago after all" said Bryan.

"It's youth level. Senior level is a different beast. Besides, you brought Canada to the semifinal of Gold Cup last summer" said Danny.

"Yeah. But we're lost to Mexico in the semi-final then" replied Bryan.

"But, still. You played well. With 10 goals in the tournament. It's quite an achievement if you asked me" said Danny.

"You'right. I heard what happen between you and Haller at West Ham. And for me, it's really unfair" said Bryan.

"Yes. But let it be. I just moved forward now" said Danny.

"Good to hear. May the best team win today" said Bryan. Danny just nodded.
