Manucho Gonçalves

Angola

Angola have done very well at the AFCON this year. For the first time in their history it looks like they might qualify for the knockout stages. much of that is down to the talented striker Manucho.Who is yet to play in Europe, starring for the past couple of years in Angolan domestic football with Luanda club side Petro Atletico.

Manchester United have signed the talented striker and barring a failed work permit application the youngster is threatening to shake up the already star strike force at Old Trafford. Manucho has displayed fine striking instincts and looks to be slick, powerful and speedy. Ferguson was full of praise for the youngster and with Portuguese speaking Nani, Ronaldo and Anderson, he will find little problems adjusting in the team.

Great to see another African joining a big club and his goals at the AFCON suggest he could be successful. Scoring 3 times in 2 games and showing that he is good in the air. Good luck to the young star!
