Davide Petrucci - "How I learned to stay...

MANCHESTER UNITED
About this episode

Former Manchester United Academy and Reserve Team player, Davide Petrucci joined the UTD Podcast at Old Trafford while he was over visiting old friends from his time at the club, including former digs house-mate Paul Pogba.


The Italian midfielder talked about his time adjusting to life in Manchester at an early age, and recalled a moment where Rio Ferdinand approached him at Carrington to ask "are you any good?"


Davide also opened up on his struggles with injuries while at the club, and how things may have gone differently for him if he could have stayed fit. But he revealed that teammate Owen Hargreaves was an inspiration for him during that time, with the England international's unwavering positivity in the face of his own injury problems.


Sam and Helen read out your e-mails at the end of the episode. If you'd like to write to the only official Manchester United Podcast then e-mail utdpodcast@manutd.co.uk
