HULL City were so happy with the loan of Frazier Campbell they tried to buy him. That is until Spurs took him on a season long loan in part exchange for Dimitara Berbatov. Now they have come back for more in the shape of Manucho our Angolan striker.The 25-year-old Angolan has received a work permit and will go straight into the squad for today's Barclays Premier League clash against Arsenal at the KC Stadium.
Mateus Alberto Contreiras Gonçalves was born 7 March 1983 in Luanda and is better known as Manucho. He moved from Petro Atletico to Manchester United in January 2008. Before playing a game for United, however, he was loaned out to Greek side Panathinaikos for the remainder of the 2007–08 season, due to issues with obtaining a UK work permit. Manucho received a work permit soon after returning to Manchester United for pre-season training in July 2008, and made his debut for the club in the League Cup against Middlesborough on 23 September 2008. Short of first team opportunities at Old Trafford, however, on 16 January 2009 he joined Hull City on loan until the end of the 2008–09 season. He is also a member of the Angolan national team.
Manucho is Hull's second signing of the January transfer window after Thursday's permanent capture of winger Kevin Kilbane from Wigan.....Back To Home Page...
