It tends to be tough and long and [has] sagas and twists and turns."When it's closed, you can sort of dial in and look forward, but until then it's just business as normal."Listen to the full interview with Chaplin and more on BBC Sounds.

New recruit Eskesen aims to showcase 'technical skills'

Julius Eskesen can't wait to get stuck into "raw, proper football" with Dundee United after making the move from Norwegian side FK Haugesund. The midfielder, who has arrived at Tannadice on a two-year deal, told club media, external: "I'm a player that loves to play with emotion and I think this is a good match and that's something we have in common."I can imagine there is quite some intensity around matchdays."I'm definitely going to play against some really good players and with some good players. I'd like to contribute some moments of good football where you can see my technical skills. "For Dundee United I think top six is the first goal for the season and then go further on in all competitions."Although Eskesen won't be available for Thursday night's Conference League qualifier second leg against Rapid Vienna, the 26-year-old hopes the team will get the job done and give him the chance to feature in the play-off round. "I would love to," he added."The guys have to finish the good work they've put in so far but that's something every footballer dreams of, to play in European competitions."

United endured their worst top-flight season in decades under Ruben Amorim, finishing 15th in the Premier League. Rashford suggests United should learn from Liverpool's patient approach with Jurgen Klopp, who was given time to implement his vision.
