United's Portuguese Star Heads Back To Homeland


Heading Home: Elvis Vilakazi joins Vitoria Guimarães permanently

Manchester United have confirmed that their deadly Portuguese frontman Elvis Vilakazi will be joining mega-rich Vitoria Guimarães for £24 million pounds - ten times the amount they purchased him for from Rio Ave.

Vilakazi has spent the past two seasons on loan at Vitoria Guimarães, who are owned by English businessman Martyn Godfrey, and this move will see him go back to his homeland after never really paving a way into the starting lineup at Old Trafford.

After creating a big reputation in Portugal through is time at Rio Ave, the then 19-year old was whisked away to England where he joined the English giants as one of David Moyes' new signings in the 2015-16 season.

But after a loan return to his first club, and then two more at his current employers, Vilakazi decided coming back to Portugal was the best thing for his career.

"If I want to be the best player I can be," the 24 year old said, "Then going back to the club [Vit. Guimarães is the right choice. I can grow there and I know the place well. Hopefully I can also push for a place in the national team."

Vilakazi is regarded as one of national team manager Jorge Jesus' key men alongside Tottenham's Felisberto and up and coming Bayern Munich full back Filipe Castelo.

Season Seven: Preseason

http://www.lared.com.gt/uploads/53dfd6242796a.jpg
We stopped off in Guatemala during our long preseason

Here we are again! After a long break of football for the players they were thrust back into action by myself in order to reach peak fitness for the season ahead! A couple new signings had also joined us for this set of friendlies, we even had to play one courtesy of signings Andrés Rossoto from Municipal in Guatemala.

Results



I'm delighted with the wins all across the board this preseason and the fashion that we claimed these wins. We had a wide range of scorers and the signings had ample time to adjust themselves to their new club.

Andrés Rossoto proved to be an inspired signing so far. He managed to score four goals this preseason. The other top performers were the consistent Sergio Liparoti, the young gun Pedro Monteiro and Alex Jakubiak, who has spent the last couple of seasons out on loan at CD Aves.

Our defence looked sturdy and organised - we only conceded twice in the eight games we played whilst firing home 33 ourselves. I must admit the opposition was anything but tough but we can still take a lot of pride out of our performances.

Player of Preseason



Proving more than capable of playing second fiddle to China in the league, if we can get this boy a bit of game time his development could really speed up and we could have a great player on our books!

Europa League Draw



FC Sion

FC Sion hail from Switzerland and are not to be taken lightly. They will most likely be tough opposition, and the one-time home of Gennaro Gattuso is going to be a hard place to get a result, meaning we have to get a positive one at home first!
Perfect pre-season as per usual, excited for the upcoming season!
A good pre-season and an easy draw, but could have chosen some more challenging games ;)
Great pre-season Walt, and a good EL draw for you too!
Lets hope you can have a great run in Europe this year ;)
