Wellington Silva amazed by passion of Arsenal, Man Utd fans

Arsenal youngster Wellington Silva is enjoying his training stint in England.

Wellington will officially leave Fluminense for Arsenal when he turns 18 in the New Year.

He told Globoesporte: "Since I came to England, I realized that the Europeans - particularly the British - are passionate about football. As I said earlier, last Thursday I faced Manchester United in a friendly match that served as preparation for Arsenal B's season, which will begin in the next 25 days. The game took place in Tallaght Stadium, Dublin, Ireland. Many fans of both clubs went to the stadium, although they were the reserves and in a neighboring country.

"I was quite impressed with the public who attended the game.

"Good to know I'll play in a place where there are many passionate football people, as in Brazil. I hope, on returning to England in the future, the fans of the Gunners are always by my side."
