COLCHESTER United midfielder Brandon Comley admits he failed to get out of first gear last season, but now he’s motoring towards a Carabao Cup quarter-final against Manchester United at Old Trafford!
The 23-year-old has seized his chance in the U’s line-up this term, playing his part in their incredible run to the last eight which has already seen them take the scalp of Premier League duo Crystal Palace and Tottenham.
Their 3-1 victory at fellow League Two side Crawley in midweek booked their place in the quarter-final draw, which, strangely, took place on The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2 on Thursday morning.
“I was on my way to football,” said Comley. “I ran into a bit of traffic, but I heard the draw on the radio – I was over the moon. It’s unbelievable to draw United.
“I didn’t really support a team as a youngster, but if Manchester United were playing in the Premier League, I would tend to support them.
“I’m just looking forward to the atmosphere, playing at a stadium you have watched on TV your whole life. It’s something you dream of and we have worked so hard to get there. It’s unreal.
