CHAPTER 24: OLD FOE
That day;
All players are training as usual as they're preparing to their first match of year 2020.
"I heard someone will join the team next week" said Greenwood as he, Aaron, Chris, Pirlo and Rashford are hanging out at a diner after training.
"I heard about it too but I don't know who is he" replied Rashford.
"Rumours said that he's an American like you, Aaron" said Chris.
"Really? I wonder if Zack Steffen had decided to join the right Manchester this time" said Aaron.
"Nah, I don't think so. He just joined City at the same transfer window as you though" said Pirlo.
"Well, then. Who could it be" said Greenwood.
"Anyone's fine as long as it's not him" replied Aaron.
"Ah, that guy from your high school that you told us about. There's a rumour that he'll coming to England too, right" said Rashford.
"Yeah. I hope he's not coming here. He always want everything I got. Just a matter of time before I punch him straight on his face if he come here" replied Aaron.
"Especially when you dating Millie right now, huh" said Pirlo.
"That's another reason too" replied Aaron.
"You think Millie will leave you for him?" asked Chris.
"No. I think he will screw my relationship with Millie and if Millie and I break up because of that, he will try and get Millie after that. And I'm telling you this; he's a sweet talker with ladies" replied Aaron.
"Let's hope he's not coming here. I can't afford to lose Tooney after trying so hard to get her" said Chris.
"Let's hope it's not him" said Greenwood. The rest just nodded.
Later on;
Aaron is checking on his social media when he got a FaceTime request from Rose, Mal and Tierna.
Aaron: Hi, ladies.
All girls: Hey there.
Rose: How you're doing?
Aaron: I'm good. What about you girls?
Mal: We're good too.
Tierna: So, have you heard the news?
Aaron: What news?
Rose: That there will be an American to join your club.
Aaron: Yes, I heard it too.
Mal: So, do you know who is it?
Aaron: No. Ole not telling me and my teammates yet. We need to wait for the press conference.
Tierna: Damn. So, who do you think he is?
Aaron: To be honest, I don't know. But I hope it's not him.
Rose: Ah, your archenemy from high school? He doing quite good with LAFC last season.
Aaron: But still not good enough to get call for the national team.
Mal: What if it's him?
Aaron: Then it just matter of time before I punch him during training session.
Tierna: Damn, bro. Remind me not to ever mess around with you.
Aaron: Don't worry about it. All of you are my friends. Besides, I never hit ladies.
Rose: Awww, what a gentleman.
Aaron: Not really. It just that no girls ever pick a fight with me.
Mal: Alex did.
Aaron: Well, that's different. Besides, siblings do fight.
Tierna: Is it mean that you and Alex always fight?
Aaron: Not really. But the last fight we had is the only big one.
Rose: No wonder it's bad. So, do you think you'll get the call up for the national team in 2 months?
Aaron: Well, who knows. It's the head coach that can decide it. Not me.
Mal: I hope you will. We're not done learning freekick from you.
Aaron: Come and join me in Manchester then.
Tierna: If they offered us a contract, then we'll be there for sure.
Rose: That's true. Anyway, I need to go now.
Tierna: Me too.
Mal: Same here. Let's talk again sometimes.
Aaron: Okay, ladies. Take care.
Rose: You too, Aaron. Good luck facing Fulham this weekend.
Aaron: Thanks. Bye, girls.
Girls: Bye.
Then, they hung up.
"Won't Mil get jealous?" asked Chris.
"No. I told her everything after all" replied Aaron.
"I see. So, there's no secret between you both?" asked Chris.
"Yes. I told her everything that she wants to know" replied Aaron.
"I see. I did the same with Tooney too" said Chris.
"That's good. We must always being honest to our partner after all" replied Aaron.
"Yeah right. No dating today?" asked Chris.
"Well, who knows. Mil and I are the type of not plan date early though" replied Aaron.
"No wonder" said Chris. Aaron just smirked.
That weekend;
All players already on the pitch as Manchester United is facing West Brom at away ground. The match begins with Matchester United kicked off the match.
"Come on, boys. GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!" yelled Tooney as she and some other players are watching from her, Jackie and Millie's place.
"Not too loud, Tooney" said Jackie.
"That's true. It's not that they can hear you from here" said Fran then.
"Haters" replied Tooney. Jackie and Fran giggled.
"C'mon, Tooney. Look at Mil here. She just focus on the match" said Jackie.
"No, she's not. She's staring on the TV and hope Aaron will appear" replied Tooney.
"No, I'm not" said Millie.
"Seriously, Mil. Don't you have stare at him enough everytime you went for date?" asked Fran.
"Of course not. There's no such thing as stare at a boyfriend enough" replied Tooney.
"Just like you and Chris, huh?" asked Jackie.
"Let see what will happen after you and Hariz start to date" replied Millie.
"You're not dating him yet? You're a slowpoke" said Fran.
"Who said that I'm going to date him?" asked Jackie.
"Your eyes when you look at him" replied Millie causing Jackie to blush.
"No, I'm not" said Jackie.
"Again, Jackie. Break my cousin's heart, I'll break your skull" warned Tooney.
"I won't, okay" replied Jackie.
"Besides, Tooney. You know it's quite impossible to break a metalhead's heart like him" said Millie.
"Not really. He used to get his heart broken twice. Luckily, he has his sisters to comfort him" replied Tooney.
Later on;
All Manchester United players enter their team bus after the match against West Brom which ended up with a win 3-2 after Aaron scored 2 goals and Greenwood scored another one.
"Okay, boys. Listen up. This Monday, there will be no training session because we will introduced to you our new signing of this transfer window" said Solksjær as the bus started to leave the stadium.
"Really? Who is that player?" asked Aaron.
"You'll know it during the conference in 2 days" replied Solksjær.
"Let's hope he's not a jerk" said Greenwood.
"That's true or we will ended up beating his arse" said Chris then.
"Boys, let just know him first" replied Maguire.
"Okay, that's all" said Solksjær before took his seat.
"Who do you think he is, mate?" asked Pirlo.
"I don't know. Maybe it's Eagles" replied Aaron.
"The 2nd current top scorer in the league? Nah, I don't think so" replied Greenwood.
"Maybe it's Sancho" said Chris.
"I heard the rumour about him sign with us since last season though" replied Rashford.
"Do you lots really need to wonder about it right now?" asked Maguire.
"Errrmm, yes. We didn't want any asshole to join this team" replied Aaron.
"That's true" said Pirlo then.
"Don't worry too much about it. We got this" replied de Gea. The rest just nodded.
2 days later at Old Trafford;
Both men and women players already there to see the new signings for both team.
"Is Alex joining us, babe?" asked Millie.
"No. She's on her due after all. She is only able to play during Olympic Games this summer" replied Aaron.
"So, you're save from being stalk, huh" said Chris.
"Well, it's not that I mind if she stalks me though. That's what sisters love to do" replied Aaron. Later on, Solksjær walked into the pitch and face the main stand.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Allow me to introduce to you 2 new players that will join our team. Both of them already signed 2 years contract with us. First please welcome our new centre-back; Raphael Varane!" announced Solksjær before Varane made his way into the pitch.
"Hoh, now that such a reinforcement to our defensive line" said Pirlo.
"That's true" replied Maguire.
"Next is our new forward. Please welcome; Dino Ayewb!" announced Solksjær.
"Oh, fuck" muttered Aaron as Dino made his way into the pitch.
"Mate, isn't that the one that you told us about? Guy from your high school" said Greenwood.
"That's true" replied Aaron.
"But he seems nice and innocent" said Tooney.
"That's true" said Millie then.
"Don't judge a book by its cover, ladies" said Chris.
"That's true. Just stay on guard" said Aaron.
"You worry too much, babe" said Millie.
"Of course I do. My girlfriend might be his victim" replied Aaron.
"Don't worry. You're the only one for me" said Millie.
"Aww, I love you" said Aaron.
"Love you too" replied Millie. Later on, both players were brought to meet their teammates. When Dino walked to Aaron;
"Hello, old friend" greeted Dino.
"Yo. How you're doing" replied Aaron.
"Good. Can't wait to play together with you" said Dino. Aaron just smirked and nodded. Dino then continue to meet the rest of their teammates with Varane.
"I can feel the tense" whispered Chris.
"Well, can you blame me?" replied Aaron. Once the meet and greet is over, they dismissed.
