Recovered Pato ready to take on United

(GSM) – Alexandre Pato has recovered from his thigh injury that kept him sidelined for several weeks.

The Brazilian striker made his return for Milan when they beat Udinese on Friday night (3-2). The 20-year-old is ready to take on Manchester United.

Pato hopes the time he has spent studying United will pay off when the two sides meet on Tuesday night.

“I have a lot of desire to do my best. I have seen all the games of Ferguson’s side and I would like to score a goal because it’s one of those really special challenges,” Pato said.

“I feel good. I am calm and collected. We are focused on getting the victory, and we can do it. I feel great here and I want to go far with this jersey.

“If I behave well with Milan then I can hope for a call up to the national team. This is also an objective for me, just as it is for Ronaldinho,” he concluded.
