Cardiff City Youngster opens up on 'dream' Man Utd move
Teenage striker Gabriele Biancheri has described his move from Cardiff to Manchester United as a "dream come true".
Biancheri started the campaign in excellent form for Cardiff, eventually earning him a call-up to the under-21s despite being only 16. However, Dave Hughes, the former Bluebirds head of academy, used his inside knowledge of the player to get him to sign for Man United.
Cardiff received over £500,000 fee for the player, while Biancheri himself would likely have found it impossible to turn to the move to such a huge club down.
"It's gone really well. There have been a couple of difficult moments, like leaving home, not being with my family, moving houses, moving away from my friends," he said of the move to the FAW's Red Wall+ channel.
"But this is what I've always wanted, to play for a team like Man United, it's a dream come true."
