He is 20 years young, but has established himself in record time in the world’s toughest league for Bournemouth. Now he sends an uplifting little “greeting” to the Manchester United supporters.
Rayan was brought to Bournemouth from Vasco da Gama in January, and in less than a year the right winger has made his mark with a physicality, mentality and an impressive 10 goals in his first 31 games for the Premier League club – and not surprisingly already played his way onto the radar of the biggest clubs. Manchester United included.

The Red Devils have had a long-term interest in Rayan, who is now a regular in the Brazilian national team squad. With Pochettino in as the new Man Utd coach, the attack is expected to be strengthened, with the 20-year-old being a strong candidate.
Then it is interesting for United supporters to hear that the 20-year-old is “one of them”.
In an interview with ESPN Brazil , Rayan reveals that his favorite club is Manchester United.
“I actually spoke to my family at home, my wife and those who are with me, and told them that I have always supported Manchester United. It was because of Cristiano Ronaldo. I just wanted to go in and see what it was like, what the stadium looked like and how it felt to get on the pitch,” the 20-year-old said.

Recently, Rayan got to fulfill a small dream when he visited Old Trafford with Bournemouth. For the United supporters, this was a meeting they would rather forget. Bournemouth won 0-3 – with Rayan scoring.

Then we will see if Manchester United make their push to ensure that Rayan scores more goals at Old Trafford for United.
