Manchester United midfielder Charni Ekangamene admits his move from Royal Antwerp came as a big surprise.
The young Belgian was unaware of Antwerp's partnership with United until it came to considering their offer.
"Well, I used to play with my little local team before I moved to Antwerp, where I played three seasons. Warren (Joyce) had been Antwerp manager while I was at the club, and had seen me play. I came to United on trial and they gave me a contract," he told Inside United.
"No! I heard about the links but, to be fair, I was pretty shocked and surprised because a few teams were interested in Belgium but speaking about Manchester United is something quite different. Like I've said, to make the step from Antwerp to United is not easy and you have to realise that when you come here."
