The way Michael Bradley has taken to life in Toronto, you start to wonder whether the captain has a future in the city beyond his playing days.
It’s a long way off, of course - he is still only 29 - but Bradley seems happy to see out his career on the pitch with Toronto FC. Asked where he hoped to be in five years by the Sun earlier this week, he replied: “I hope I’m in Toronto. I realize every day how lucky I am. That isn’t lost on me.”
It would be surprising if he did not see himself taking a stab at coaching or front-office work down the line given his leadership skills, experience in different countries and the success of his father, not to mention how he was willing to offer a blunt assessment of where the United States were going wrong towards the end of Jurgen Klinsmann’s time in charge.
