"I was still in awe and maybe it took me a little while to get what it really took," Brady said.
He would join Hull City in 2011, get promoted to the Premier League and move again to Norwich City before signing for Burnley in January 2017. Brady matured and developed following his move from Old Trafford.

But I feel on the road now and I know what I want and I'm setting goals for myself and hopefully I can keep on going."
