State carefully a version of the Seifert-van Kampen theorem for a cover of a space by two closed sets.

Let XX be the space obtained by gluing together a Möbius band MM and a torus T=S1×S1T=S^{1} \times S^{1} along a homeomorphism of the boundary of MM with S1×{1}TS^{1} \times\{1\} \subset T. Find a presentation for the fundamental group of XX, and hence show that it is infinite and non-abelian.
