Chapter 90: Team Bonding
With the transfer window closed and the squad finalized, Manchester United turned their attention to team bonding and preparation for the new season. Erik ten Hag, the manager, organized a week-long training camp in Scotland, aiming to foster camaraderie and a winning mentality among his players.
The team arrived at the picturesque Loch Lomond resort, surrounded by rolling hills and serene lakes. The atmosphere was relaxed, with players joking and laughing as they settled into their rooms.
The first day began with a team-building exercise – a grueling hike up Ben Lomond, the highest peak in the area. Matthew, still getting used to his new teammates, struggled initially but was supported by Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, who encouraged him throughout the challenging climb.
