Ghanaian left-back Patrick Kpozo couldn’t hide his excitement after sharing the same field as Cristiano Ronaldo when Sheriff Tiraspol hosted Man United on match day four of the Europa League last Thursday.
The 25-year-old lasted the entire duration of the game as Sheriff lost 2-0 to the Red Devils in Moldova.
After the game, the 25-year-old Ghanaian posted a photo of the pair on his Instagram account and admits he will be making a beeline for Ronaldo in Manchester.
“For me it was a dream come true to play on the same field as a genuine legend like Cristiano Ronaldo. It was painful to lose but meeting Ronaldo softened the blow,” Kpozo told BBC Sport Africa.
“He was in a hurry to leave [in Moldova] so we just shook hands and managed to get a quick picture.
“My team-mate Victor [Oliveira] got his shirt but at Old Trafford, I will go and speak to Ronaldo directly in the warm-up; I want the shirt.”
Man United will host Sheriff Tiraspol at Old Trafford on Thursday.
Kpozo has made 18 appearances for Sheriff Tiraspol across all competitions this season.
