Norwich City midfielder Robbie Brady has told Norwich’s website that he is looking forward to tomorrow’s clash with his former side, Manchester United.
Brady started his career with the Red Devils and was with the club for five years; failing to make a single league appearance for Sir Alex Ferguson’s star-studded side.
He went out on two loan spells at Hull City before moving to the club permanently in 2013. Brady then featured in 63 games for the Tigers, scoring six goals before his £7m move to Norwich City this summer following Hull’s relegation to the Championship.
The Republic of Ireland international has easily been Norwich’s player of the season so far and the £7m price tag is looking like an absolute steal right now as he is performing week-in-week-out in the Premier League for the Canaries.
Yet, Alex Neil’s men find themselves in the bottom three and desperately need to pick up a result against United in order to boost their promotion ambitions and Brady is looking forward to returning with a win.
It will be great to go back, although I’m on the other side of the fence this time and looking to get a result for Norwich.
It’s exciting because I’ve only played there once since leaving. I still have friends there who I keep in contact with now and again; moving on was right for me and I’ve got no regrets.
Manchester United was a great place to learn my trade but I’m a Norwich player now. It only takes a couple of results to change things and hopefully we can do that over the festive period, starting at United.
It would take a huge effort to get the three points at Old Trafford but Brady is hopeful.
They’re still a massive club with world-class players, so we’ll take nothing for granted.
The lesser teams are getting stronger every year, so the gaps are getting smaller between the top and the bottom of the league. On their day, anybody can beat anybody, and no teams are exempt from that.
It’s an important period of the season for us and everyone needs to be on form. Hopefully this weekend is when it turns for us, because we’re playing good football and just need to iron out the mistakes.
