My Take
What I love about Drinkwater is the bricklayer line sitting right next to footballer. Manchester-born and a Manchester United academy product, he was loaned out again and again before forcing his way up the ladder. That is not the path of a pampered prospect; it is the path of a grafter who built his career one brick at a time. I have a soft spot for players who earn their place through stubborn work rather than hype. To me he embodies a working-class honesty in the game, and that authenticity is far more compelling than any highlight reel.
