My United: Afrobeat superstar Maulo

Who are your favourite current players?

“They’re all my favourites! The whole team. I understand that there is a new manager and he is trying to make the team better at the moment, so we might not get good results all of the time, but you can see how hard everyone is striving for the club. Anyone in the team at the moment, you have to give them respect. I have a lot of respect and admiration for them. And for them to be in a United shirt, they must feel privileged. It’s great to see players like Marcus Rashford putting so much back into the community, too. We’ve got some good young players coming up like Garnacho, so there’s a lot to be excited about.”

Who is your all-time United legend?

“My all-time favourite United player would still have to be Cristiano Ronaldo. Sorry! But his football and his numbers speak for themselves – especially for United.”

If we offered you a ride in a United time machine that could take you to any era, which team or player would you go back to watch?

“I’d be lying if I mentioned the Busby Babes because I’d be lying if I said I understood football back then. So it would be that team that won the Champions League in 2008, with the likes of Vidic, Rio and Evra at the back, Rooney and Ronaldo and Tevez, van der Sar. I really enjoyed football back then and that was when I was playing, so I could play up front!”
