Copenhagen captain Zeca: I'm a Man Utd fan; Fernandes a great player

FC Copenhagen captain Carlos Zeca says facing Manchester United in their Europa League quarterfinal is a dream come true.

While accepting they're outsiders, the midfielder insists they're capable of an upset.

He told Bold.dk: "Even though it's a one or two percent chance, it's football, and we've seen so many incredible things. Maybe it will be our evening if we do everything right, but of course it will be extremely difficult.

"There is a big difference in the clubs' budget, but in the end it is 11 against 11, and we will do everything.

"United have been my favourite team since I was little. My dream was to play at Old Trafford, so it's a bit of a shame that we play in Germany.

"I am incredibly excited and happy to have to play against them. I play football to meet the best and have great experiences, so it will be great.

"I love Bruno Fernandes. He is really good, and one player can not shut him down, so we must work well together as a team to succeed."
