You might be feeling a bit low but the best thing you can do is pick up your ball and get out in the garden."The 22-year-old revealed that during his academy days he used to hit the targets in the garden to bring accuracy and creative skills in his game."When I was in the academy I used to find a spot in the garden and aim for targets just so I could practice my accuracy, get creative! Now is not the time to fall out of love with the game its a time to remember why you fell in love with it in the first place. You've got this and we can't wait to see you all back next season!" the message read.Nick Cox, head of United's academy, said in a statement on Friday, "We will continue to support our young players' football development and mental wellbeing during this time and look forward to welcoming them back to full-time training when this is possible."( With inputs from ANI )
