Callum Wilson claimed that been cut from both Newcastle and the English team fueled his will to battle back.
The striker's post-World Cup slump kept him on the sidelines at Newcastle, where he made 13 appearances but only managed one goal.
He was also excluded from the opening victories in the Euro 2024 qualification series against Ukraine and Italy in March.
However, Wilson, who scored 11 goals in his final 12 games for Newcastle to propel them to fourth position in the Premier League, is back to face Malta on Friday before North Macedonia arrives at Old Trafford on Monday.
I was used to playing every single week but was now finding myself on the bench. I found myself playing for 10 minutes towards the end of the game while suddenly sitting on the sidelines.
I did not enjoy that. You want to have fun. You put in a lot of effort over the week, and on gameday, you want to shine and score goals. I realized I couldn't do that and that I needed to put in considerably more effort.
I tried to use it constructively, but you do need to mentally refresh because you sometimes go without scoring goals.
"We traveled to Dubai for a mid-season training camp, spending five days there without participating in any football activities.
"Yes, the season has had a fantastic start, but it has turned into a bad season," we had to admit. "When I was out of the team, I had to essentially pull my finger out and start scoring goals again."
The Magpies' 20-year absence from the Champions League was the season's high point, but Wilson didn't realize it until he attended Sam Fender's concert at St. James' Park on.
"I could tell at the time how much it meant to everyone in the stadium. It was strange to hear the national anthem while not really playing in the stadium. I am eager to begin because this will occur the next season.
Wilson enjoys collecting art in addition to music as he seeks to expand his portfolio.
