Uzoho revel in the fulfillment of his dream to one day play at Old Trafford his boyhood club stadium.
” Yes, I am a Manchester United fan,” said Uzoho.
“It is a dream come through for me, I have dreamed of playing here for a long time, so when I saw the draw and I figured out that I would be playing at Old Trafford.
“I wanted to play, I prayed to God to get an opportunity to play, so I got it and I am happy I played here.”
The 23-year-old goalie also said the game was the best of his career till date.
“Arguably, yes, I think so.
