“It is wonderful. I really wanted to be able to wear the Red kit now,” Bruno told reporters. “It’s great to see what the club means wordwide, I’m really happy. I hope to really be a United player soon, officially.
“My goal is to become top-scorer in the league, being the first Brazilian to do so, while also to be English champion and to win the Champions League. This is my dream, hearing the crowd singing ‘Campione, campione, ole ole ole!’”
The former Corinthians striker also spoke of his first brief encounter with Sir Alex Ferguson at Carrington, saying of the occasion: “It was nice. He is a legend in Manchester, where everybody respects him and to be close to him was great.
“In fact, he only asked about my position and if I spoke English. Then he talked with the club representative who took me to Manchester.”
