Angolan's delight at signing United contract
Manchester United new boy Manucho Goncalves is determined to break into the champions' first team.
The Angola international signed a three-year contract with United before Christmas after impressing during a three-week trial.
He is expected to link up with his Old Trafford team-mates after the African Cup of Nations, providing he secures a work permit.
The imposing striker admits his dream has become a reality and is looking forward to playing for the Red Devils.
Fan
"I have been a fan of Manchester United from when I was very young, so now I will work very hard to get into the first team," Manucho told
MUTV.
"I am very happy to be here and I have worked very hard to make my dream a reality.
"I have found the adaptation easy because all the players have given me their support... and players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani and Anderson all speak my language."
Though he is not expected to feature in the team this season, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is keeping an open mind.
Progress
Ferguson said: "I think he'll need a few months to adjust. In saying that, he's done very well in training and you never know how players will progress.
"I said the same thing about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when he arrived. I thought I'd give him a year or two in the reserves, but after three or four games he was in the first team.
"It all boils down to the boy himself, how he adapts to the change and how he commits himself to learning. Every young player has to learn."
