Manucho

[dww]

I thought United signed him and he was coming in January? Did he fail to get a work permit?

In the ACN I thought he looked excellent and just the type of player United need to add a different option to their attack (which is already pretty damn good).

Is it this African player, who was on trial with them ?

Yep, he is Angolan and had a three week trial in December after which they offered him a contract. During the ACN it was said that he was going to arrive at United in January.

I think he's already with them if my memory is good.

He signed for 3 years and was loaned out somewhere.... can't remember where. Greece or Belgium I'd reckon.

As ever, great with all things mancunian.

Yep they bought him and then loaned him out

Thought he was loaned out to a club in Belgium. Saw a bit of him in the African Cup and he looked a bit tasty. If he turns out to be a good player and not a Djemba Djemba type, then can see them selling Saha and having Manucho as a focal point of the attack.
