[WATCH] Real Madrid ace Endrick names his top five favourite players

The Brazilian included Bobby Charlton and Ferenc Puskás on his list.

When Endrick was asked about his five favourite players he had looked up to when he was growing up, the striker named two current Real Madrid players and two former stars. However, the two players he named would come as a bit strange as Endrick was not even when born those players were playing.

However, in a recent interview, Endrick disclosed the identity of another former Manchester United forward who was being considered. To the surprise of most of his admirers, the 18-year-old responded, “Cristiano and Bobby Charlton.”

Endrick certainly names two former Madrid players and two current stars. When asked about his five favourite players, the Brazilian said.

”Cristiano Ronaldo, Bobby Charlton, Ferenc Puskás, Vinícius Júnior & Jude Bellingham.”

Considering Endrick’s age, it seems a little odd that he looked up to a player, Bobby Charlton, who was playing during the 1960s. It won’t be surprising if the teenager says that he wants to emulate his United career at Madrid.

Naturally, Charlton had a trophy-filled time at Manchester United, taking home three league crowns and the European Cup. Additionally, this is not the first time the gifted athlete has brought up the former England international in conversation.

The 18-year-old acknowledged his respect for the United hero after scoring the game’s lone goal in Brazil’s 1-0 victory against England in March.

“A guy who is an idol here [at Wembley Stadium] is also Bobby Charlton,” said Endrick. “Playing in the stadium that Bobby played, scoring on the day Ronaldo debuted. These are very important memories for me.”

Endrick made an impression on Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti during their most recent pre-season match against AC Milan. It was his debut as a football club professional in Europe.

During the 1-0 loss, the Brazilian wonderkid had made his debut, and Ancelotti acknowledged that his skills were beyond anything he had ever seen.

The 18-year-old will undoubtedly have his work cut out for him this season as he looks to battle for a starting berth against players like Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr in the upcoming season.
