Sir Alex, "I hope we have found the answer to Cristiano, but he scored 26 goals last season and that, for a winger, was exceptional. Antonio is a player that we watched for some time last season. He is young, athletic and has good power and, at 23, we think he can develop with us.
"He has potential, though, and we believe he can develop and he will start against Boca. Fitness-wise, he is still behind the rest of squad, but he has spent some time at Carrington while the rest of the squad was away in the Far East."
