I know that many of you, in footballing terms, will know a little bit about how that feels because Manchester United haven&#8217;t played. It is normal, I&#8217;m also looking forward to our next game too.<\/p>\n<p>It will, without doubt, be a special one for me: Chelsea vs Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. For us it will be the first test from a tough run of fixtures, but we are hoping to play at a high level and return home with a win. We will finish off October by welcoming both Juventus and Everton to Old Trafford. It is a fixture list that is going to ask for our best football.<\/p>\n<p>I have said that there have been no club games, but that isn&#8217;t necessarily true. There have been a lot of other competitions still taking place, including the Spanish second division where Real Oviedo lost (I&#8217;m sending plenty of encouragement their way from England); and the FA Women&#8217;s Championship where Manchester United beat Charlton 3-0. I wish Casey Stoney all of the luck in the world, you have all of our support.<\/p>\n<p>This week there has also been more good news for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.common-goal.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Common Goal<\/a>. A legend of both football and Manchester United, Eric Cantona, joined our movement. It was a day where I myself felt really proud and happy, as Eric becomes a &#8216;mentor&#8217; for Common Goal and will support us greatly.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"es\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I&#8217;ve always wished that I&#8217;d played with him&#8230; Finally, we are on the same team.
