Who's from Sheffield, by the way? He's a Sheffield Wednesday

fan.

By that point, you can be playing low-league level football, going around clubs, and then at 27, something changes and you're five-starred them and one of the best strikers.

So if that doesn't exist, then probably it's going to be difficult for you, for someone to see you when you reach a certain age, let's say.

The same is back home.

And it goes around the world.

I think this type of...

And that's a really big thing in England, in the UK especially.

How has he changed this team around so quickly?

Well, I think it's communication.

Uh, if you know how to speak to the players, if yourself has been a professional football player at that level, like, uh, Michael was, I think he knows how to speak the language in a way that, uh, the players at United to feel appreciated, uh, to trust him, and after that, to get his idea and, you know, put it into play onto the pitch.

Because the players are the same.

The players are the same, uh, just obviously the manager is different and the system is different.

But the m- the most important things, which are the players, are still the same, and we can all see how they play now.

You know, they, they play with flair, with, with belief, with confidence, with arrogance when they need to, you know, like a team, and it's a joy to watch right now.

Dimi, how much does this fall on Thomas Frank? Does he need to be stronger as a manager?

What did you like best, Dimitar, yourself when you were playing? What did you like to hear from a coach and what was the balance between those directions and the tactics and being able to use your own flair as a player?

Well, I think every player like to know that the coach trust him.

When you know that the coach trust in your ability, you're more free to play on the pitch and not afraid to make mistakes.

Then you can fully express yourself, uh, knowing that even if you make a mistake, the coach is behind you so you're- you're free in your mind to express the best of you on the pitch.

In my case, of course, it was always about entertainment because this is how I saw the game, but in the end, you should have the end result, you know, the three points, uh, to beat the opposition because you- you play for trophies, you play for something that, you know, when you look back, you wanna see that you won something.

And because we spoke about Arsenal just now, I think the- the approach they are taking ......

in some games, it's pragmatical or direct because for them, it's about winning the title this season.

What have you made of everything that's been going on between him and Liverpool, and his comments about him not being happy?

Have you ever wanted to pu- have you ever wanted to punch a teammate, Dimitar?

Oh, pretty much every game to be honest.

(laughs) But, uh, as, as someone...

It's...

L- listen, I like, I like stuff like this.

It shows that you, uh, you, you wanna win, you're passionate, you, you, you want your team to do well, you want your teammates to do well.

And sometimes tension boils, and either sometimes you argue with your opposition, sometimes that it happens you argue with your own teammates.

Mm.

Sorry, that goal, when you score that goal against Blackburn, because that's one of my favourite goals that you score, are you seeing the end product?

I see it as a chess game because I was in the back.

So the moment I get the ball, even if I'm looking at the ball, I still see where everybody is on the pitch.

So now I need to find a way to outmaneuver everybody and to get to the finish line.

But I do that in this case with the help of my teammates.

I'm not Messi.

I cannot go like this.

so what would you be saying to sesco now if you're in if he was in the club now if you had five minutes of him
