Portuguese player Betinho has revealed his surprise at a bizarre link to Manchester United.

The veteran, who plays in the Portuguese lower leagues, was accidentally included on Manchester United's Premier League squad list.

Many fans noticed that he was listed as United's no.11 ahead of their game against Nottingham Forest.

“I only knew it was true when my mates sent me messages and then I confirmed that it was indeed my name on the Premier League website," Betinho told the Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Notícias.

“I got more calls today than on my birthday."

Betinho, who had a short stint on loan at Brentford, has been playing for SC Espinho since the 2019-2020 season.
