What a weekend for him for this young man, he turned<br \/>\n21 on Saturday, then scored two goals yesterday to win a cup final for<br \/>\nManchester City. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">When you think of all the millions of pounds worth of talent<br \/>\non the Wembley pitch, here was a homegrown player. One of Manchester City\u2019s<br \/>\nown, born and bred in Collyhurst, Manchester, academy product, from near the<br \/>\nEtihad, like Nobby Stiles and Brian Kidd. So it feels like for Nico O\u2019Reily, the<br \/>\nworld is his oyster this morning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">He\u2019s already in the England squad, Thomas Tuchel brought him in last autumn, and he debuted in November, started two World Cup qualifiers, and now he\u2019s a trophy\u2011winner with City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In all honesty The question isn\u2019t whether he\u2019ll make the squad\u2026 it\u2019s whether he\u2019ll start England\u2019s first match, as long as he\u2019s fit and all is well. That is where he is in his career. It\u2019s funny, I have interviewed him a few times, and he\u2019s man of few words, he lets his football do the talking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8216;What a weekend for him for this young man&#8217;published at 09:31 GMT 09:31 GMT Arsenal 0-2 Man City&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":490736,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-490735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/490736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
