In the line of Wolves players ready to speak to the Portuguese media, Ruben Vinagre has taken up his place and had a chat with O Jogo for their Sunday edition.
One of several players to join Wolves on loan during the summer, Vinagre is a Portugal youth international, but didn’t join from a Portuguese club. In 2016 the fullback moved to AS Monaco, after impressing big clubs around Europe, but he could have easily been at Manchester United instead.
Asked by O Jogo if it’s true he had one foot at Old Trafford, Vinagre confirmed it: “Yes, it is.”
Next up came the inevitable question about whether he’d like to play under Jose Mourinho, and 18 year old Vinagre said: “Yes, of course, it doesn’t happen today, but it can happen at another time, who knows. Now I’m focused on the club where I am.”
Vinagre will have to become a regular at Wolves before believing his Manchester United dream can become a reality, and then perhaps impress further at Monaco.
