Paul Onuachu hails "dream come true"

FC Midtjylland striker Paul Onuachu has said that playing and scoring against Manchester United was "a dream come true".

The powerful striker came off the bench to score his team's winner as they recorded a 2-1 victory over Man United in the first leg of their last-32 clash in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Onuachu could not hide his delight after the final whistle and also revealed that he is looking forward to the return leg at Old Trafford next week.

"I think it is fantastic. It is a dream come true to play Man United," the striker told BT Sport. "I am looking forward to the return leg. Hopefully we can get something at Old Trafford."

Pione Sisto, who has been linked with a number of high-profile clubs, scored the home side's equaliser after Memphis Depay had broken the deadlock on the night.
