The defender was one of just three recruits brought into the club in the latest transfer window – with United forking out £19 million for the right-back.
The Portuguese has required treatment on a knee injury since arriving, but after coming through an Under-23s game on Friday 31 August, he linked up himself with the first team.
‘The injury was not too bad, but it required some patience, and I needed that,’ the 19year-old said. ‘Now I am here, and I am ready to play whenever the coach thinks I am ready.’
Well, it appears that time may have come after the youngster dropped a hint that he will be involved in his side’s Premier League clash with Watford on Saturday.
Whether Jose Mourinho decides to throw the young defender straight into the team remains to be seen as he has not played since May, but there will undoubtedly be opportunities in the future list as the fixture list builds up because of European and cup competition commitments and the starlet will have a chance to prove his worth.
