Manucho to make his debut v Villareal

By: kiko | September 16th, 2008 | 11 Comments »

Manucho is likely to make his debut for Man Utd in Wednesday’s match against Villareal. Although I doubt he will start the match, he is likely to replace Berbatov in the subs bench.

Berbatov is currently struggling with a minor knee injury and if he does not recover in time for the match, Manucho will be selected instead.

I reckon that if selected, he will play for less than 15 minutes. Hopefully he will take his chance in the team and will be selected again soon.
