The Angolan league's top goalscorer, Manucho, is all set for a
trial at Old Trafford with Manchester United...
Petro Luanda star Manucho has been invited for a trial with English
Premier League side Manchester United, according to Angop news
agency.
The state-run broadcaster claims that Manucho flew out to Old
Trafford on Tuesday to commence a spell of training with the Red
Devils, with a possible view to a longer move.
The striker managed 16 goals in Angola's top division, the
Girabola, in the last campaign, which ended in November. This was
added to his previous total of 15 for the 2006 season.
Since the current season is over, the Luanda-based Petro outfit
have not been deprived of one of their top players, but with the
versatile attacker also set to take part in the African Cup of
Nations in January, it is thought that his trial will end long
before January.
Only one Angolan, Jordao of West Bromwich Albion's 2002/03 season,
has played in the Premier League so far.
