"Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to Old Trafford!" Michael Bridges' voice burst through television screens around the world, his tone thick with excitement and anticipation. "Forty-five minutes left on the clock, and Manchester United find themselves down two-nil against Crystal Palace. Can Erik ten Hag clinch his first Premier League win as manager of Manchester United?"
"And can Cristiano Ronaldo mark his return to Old Trafford with a comeback performance for the ages?" David Stowell chimed in, his voice cutting clean across the background roar of the fans. "Let's not forget, the spotlight's been blinding today—new manager, old legend, young players, and the home fans demanding blood. The question is—does United have the stomach for this fight?"
As the broadcast cut to a wide view of the stadium, Michael added, "And here come the players now… both sides trotting back out onto the pitch for the second half."
