Brazil matchwinner Endrick tribute to Man Utd legend

Real Madrid signing Endrick paid tribute to Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton after proving Brazil's machwinner last night.

The 17 year-old scored in the 1-0 win against England at Wembley.

Endrick will join Real in the summer from Palmeiras and said: "A guy who is an idol here is also Bobby Charlton, playing in the stadium that Bobby played (sic), scoring on the day Ronaldo debuted. These are very important memories for me.

"I was just thinking about that (the goal), I couldn't think about the game anymore, it even hurt me a little. It's a unique memory.

"My family is here, my girlfriend, my managers. I'm not much of a crier, I'm holding back, but it's something unique and I'm very happy."
