Nigeria U23 winger Christian Nwachukwu says he is targeting a major upset when Azerbaijan side Sabah take on Manchester United tomorrow in the UEFA Champions League, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nwachukwu will be returning to England for the first time since his summer transfer from English Championship side Sheffield United, where he failed to make the step up to the main team.
He joined Sabah in the summer transfer window on a permanent deal and opened his goal account in their 4-2 win over Hapoel Beer-Sheva, which helped them reach the Champions League group stage for the first time in the club’s history.
They open their campaign tomorrow at Old Trafford and the 20 year old is warming up to the task with dreams of an upset. ” You play games to win regardless of the opponent. Although we want to enjoy the moment but an upset will be sweet to make a statement’, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
Per what we exclusively gathered he is among the players picked for Nigeria U23 by head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle, who also doubles as the coach of the Olympic side.
