You know, he's always willing to give his time to to supporters, also to academy players.

He he, you know, sort of takes them aside and and chats to them, knows their name, you know, just little touches like that that whenever I speak to people that are around
voice-verified
United just rave about Fernandez for that kind of approach.

And so whatever his age might be, he still, you know, won the FWA player of the year last season, broke the assist record for, you know, in a season in the Premier League.
voice-verified
So I think he's certainly worth United sorting out and making sure he's happy.

But I guess it's just a little bit of a balance between, you know, his age and and what they might still get from him on the playing pitch.

The Athletic FC.
It's been a long day, an enthralling day.
Lots has happened, not least the football at the SoFi Stadium where I've just got back from Iran to New Zealand to.
But yeah, it didn't just start on the pitch, it started off the pitch actually.
Half-eight, I was in the courthouse in Los Angeles where FIFA were trying to uphold their ban on Iranian fans bringing the Lion and Sun flag
into the stadium but the judge ruled in favor of the fifa lawyers who said that because it's a private entity a private company you know stadium isn't a public space so to speak you know to buy a ticket to get in there that they would be allowed to prohibit the flags from being brought in so that was the end of the matter uh no it wasn't a lot of fans were able to still sneak them in smuggle them in and we saw quite a few before kickoff during the game as well where they're showing their
allegiance, I suppose, to a regime change in their country.
There's also a few actually that booed the national anthem and also cheered when New Zealand scored.
So it's an interesting atmosphere.
But the majority of Iranian fans is a big Iranian diaspora in Los Angeles.
They were cheering for their team.
Then you think the battles are done, the courtroom, the pitch?
No, in the press suite as well.
The head coach of Iran, Ameer Gallinoui, he took up the baton because he was frustrated, angry at the fact that they had to leave Los Angeles tonight.
