Benni McCarthy admits he still dreams about playing for Manchester United.
The 29-year-old has had a highly impressive debut season in the Premiership this term, after joining Blackburn Rovers from Porto last summer.
He has bagged 18 goals and adapted very quickly to the English game and the South African admits he would still love to ply his trade at Old Trafford - even if he doubts this may ever happen.
"I have always dreamed about playing for United," he told The Mirror.
"They are the most popular team in my country - and Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus and AC Milan are nothing in comparison.
"With the attackers that United have, I don't think I have much chance of moving to Old Trafford.
"But I want to see myself playing for the best and you must have ambition because without it, players are nothing.
"That's not being disrespectful to Blackburn because it is a very good club and the management, players and fans have all made me feel very welcome.
"At the moment, my ambition is to make Blackburn a big force in the Premiership and win the FA Cup - but I am a dreamer."
A good player but don't see this happening especially at his age.
