Igor Thiago revealed: When I was little, they made me watch football, I wasn't that keen

Brentford's Brazilian striker Igor Thiago, who also has a Bulgarian passport, shared curious details about his first football emotions and his favorite childhood club. “I wasn't that keen on football… but my brother made me watch the Premier League every weekend, especially Manchester United matches“, he says.

It was from that moment that his love for the game was born: “From then on, everything developed naturally… feelings of love and affection emerged.“

Today, Thiago plays in the Premier League with Brentford, but admits that English football, and Manchester United in particular, played a key role in shaping him as a fan and future professional.
