Chapter 83: Locker room clash
Here’s a revised version of the scene with improved grammar, clarity, and flow:
"Is it true? Are you going to Manchester United?" Curtis’s question hung in the air, thick with anticipation.
Before David could respond, Jason Knight, standing off to the side, jumped in. "So that’s why you asked me that question back then."
"What question?" Jayden Bogle interjected, his curiosity piqued.
Jason turned to him and explained, "A few months ago, David asked me what I’d do if a big club came calling—if they wanted to sign me. Would I stay or would I go?"
The locker room erupted into murmurs.
"Damn, since back then?" someone whispered.
"So he really is going to Man United?" another said in awe. "That’s impressive, even if it means he’s leaving us."
"But can we really blame the kid? It’s a Premier League club—and Manchester United, for that matter," someone argued.
"Yeah, we can blame him!" another voice shot back. "He’s known for months and didn’t tell any of us. From the look of it, he didn’t tell Jason or the gaffer either. Otherwise, why would the boss have called him in separately?"
Sensing the growing tension in the room, Curtis stepped forward, raising his hands to calm everyone down. "Alright, everyone, let’s chill. This is Manchester United we’re talking about. Would any of us here turn them down if they came calling?" he said, his tone firm but pointed.
