Former Super Eagles and Barcelona winger, Emmanuel Amuneke, has explained why he won’t be available for selection when Barca take on Manchester United.
Ex-top players of the two teams will play in a charity game at the Camp Nou on Friday, June 30.
Barcelona Legends coach Jose Mari Bakero can count on the services of Edmílson, Giuly, Belletti, Mendieta, Julio Salinas and Goikoetxea, among others for the game against the Red Devils.
Speaking, Amuneke said he cannot participate because he is in Nigeria at the moment and has other engagements.
“It is not that they didn’t invite me for the game against Manchester United, I am in Nigeria now, I will not be available so I can’t play,” Vanguard quoted him.
The Former Nigeria U-17 coach played 27 times for Nigeria, scoring nine goals.
He was part of the team that participated at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States.
Also in 1994, he helped the Super Eagles win the Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia, and was voted African Footballer of the Year.
Amunike played all the games at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, scoring the winning goal in the final as the national team won the gold medal.
