"Okay, boys. That's all for today. I'll see you tomorrow", said Pellegrini after they done cooling down.

"Yes, sir", replied all players. Then, they dismissed.

"Want to have dinner together, Danny?" asked Fornals.

"Well, who else with us?" asked Danny in returned.

"Just you, me and our captain", said Fornals.

"Sure thing. Let's go then", said Danny. Then, Fornals and Danny walked out from the locker room where Noble already waiting for them. Then, all 3 of them walked to the nearest diner.

"So, mate. How's thing with Courtney?" asked Noble.

"Good as usual", said Danny.

"Did she knew what happen between you and Haller?" asked Fornals.

"Even the whole national players knew it. Why don't she", said Danny.

"But to be honest, I didn't expect him to be like that", said Noble.

"None of us ever did", said Fornals.

"To be honest, captain. I don't think that things will work out just like last season if he's in our team", said Danny.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Pellegrini is the boss, so, he's the one that need to decide", said Noble.

"That's true. It's not that we have any power to do anything after all", said Fornals.

"That's right", said Danny. Then, they finished their meals before walked back home.

Later at home;

Danny just watches TV with Isla. Isla had decided to move in with Danny.

"You're okay, honey? You're so quiet" asked Isla.

"Well, I'm fine", replied Danny.

"Something in your mind? You can tell me", said Isla.

"Well, I was thinking about the team. I don't know if things will work out between me and Haller", said Danny.

"Of course it will. You both are professional right? So, act like one", said Isla.

"I always act like one. But not him. He's an arsehole", said Danny.

"I know but you can't continue to beat him up like you did before, right?" asked Isla.

"Yes. But to be honest, I don't see any ways for me to work together with him", said Danny. Isla holded Danny's hand.

"Don't worry. Things will work out. Just bear with it for now", said Isla. Danny just nodded.

Few days later;

West Ham players arrived at Old Trafford for the Premier League action against Manchester United After changed into their training kits, all players make their way to the pitch for warming up session.

"It's always been great everytime I came here", said Danny.

"Of course it is. It wasn't been called a Theatre of Dream for nothing", said Noble.

"That's true. That's why every young fans want to play with The Red Devil when they grow up", said Danny.

"That's true. But still, The Hammers are not bad, right?" asked Rice.
