Always been a big fan of this lad. Versatile, technically gifted and good vision. Hopefully this is the season to make the step up to the first team. He's been on loan for the past two seasons now (Granada and Valencia) and played a significant chunk of the season for both clubs.
I've always loved that he seems so determined to make it at the club.
After his Granada loan spell:
"Now I am focused at United. I am here and I want to stay here and I believe I am going to stay. I wanted to get experience of playing a season on loan at a club, to play week in, week out. That's what I got at Granada.”
Valencia in particular was quite keen on signing him on a permanent deal. This was his response:
“Valencia approached my agent and said they want to buy me which is flattering. The Valencia coach speaks with me a lot and we have a good understanding, but as far as I’m concerned I’m still a Manchester United player, with a contract at Old Trafford until 2020 and an ambition to make it at United. I’ve never sought to leave United.”
He has even admitted to
watching every United game when on loan. Proper fan! Not to mention he's only 22. Really hoping the kid makes it here... this is your season Andrinho!
