“When I received my first big paycheck from Manchester United, I was overjoyed. I went straight to my dad, and he told me, ‘My son, don’t waste your money. When the party is over, the guests will leave, and you’ll be left alone.’

I didn’t fully grasp his words until I encountered some tough times. That’s when I realized that many of the friends who were always around suddenly stopped checking on me. Now, the only people I have by my side are my immediate family. That’s life.”
