"Yeah, I have, which makes me feel quite uncomfortable because I'm from a very humble part of the world, he says, referring to his roots in Clydebank, a few miles north-west of Glasgow. They will all laugh at me and wind me up for it but I do have a chef at home. I think there is a stigma towards it: Who do you think you are?' Which I get, because it used to be me thinking that."
"But I think it is an investment in myself and it keeps me in the best possible condition. I am a big kid, so if I never had these things in place, the structure of Mikey in the house every night cooking me healthy food, I would pop to Nando's every now and again. Unfortunately, he is a Coventry fan he turned up one day in their kit but we'll let him off because we have a good relationship."
John McGinn employs a personal chef at home to manage nutrition and maximise performance while acknowledging discomfort given his humble Clydebank roots. Family reactions to the chef were initially nervous, but McGinn regards the arrangement as an investment that keeps him in top condition and limits unhealthy convenience choices. McGinn completed a pre-season boot camp in Arizona with performance specialist Natalie Kollars, enduring 45-degree heat and returning in his best shape for a long time. McGinn has extended his contract to 2028 and is approaching his 300th appearance for Aston Villa, aiming to complete a decade at the club.
