“Of course, I can mention a lot of the players,” Matheus continued.
“[Cristiano] Ronaldo, everyone knows, it is easy to talk about him. But Ryan Giggs [as well]. Everyone! I can imagine the team, you know, it started with [Edwin] Van der Sar in the goal, Rio Ferdinand, with [Nemanja] Vidic, the defenders. Paul Scholes, wow, [Michael] Carrick. The team for me was a big impact for my teenage years.”
United supporters of a similar age to Cunha will all agree, no doubt. It was a special team who achieved everything, and Reds will hope that Matheus can be a part of a side striving to emulate those successes.
