Petro-Atletico supremo Talangongo Totoy admits Angolan football is full of pride after seeing Manucho make his debut for Manchester United in their Carling Cup victory over Middlesbrough a fortnight ago.

"Manucho has everything to shine in Europe," said Totoy. "He is part of an excellent and technical team.

"He's benefited from having some Portuguese players, like Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, at the club, which is why he hasn't had so many difficulties adjusting to life at the English champions."
