Angola: Man United's Manucho Debuts in English Premiership

17 November 2008

Luanda — Angolan international Manucho Gonçalves, who plays for Manchester United, appeared in his debut game in the English Premiership (top division), last Saturday, during the last quarter of the match in which his club thrashed Stoke City by 5-0.

The second best scorer at the African Nations Football Cup of Ghana, in 2008, went in in replacement of Argentine Tevez on 74 minutes, when Manchester United were winning by 3-0.

Manucho was best scorer twice, in the Angolan first division championship, while playing for Petro de Luanda, before being transferred to Manchester United, early this year.
