ZaccaiโฏEtuhu, son of exโSuper Eagles midfielder DicksonโฏEtuhu, has revealed his longโstanding admiration for Manchester United soon after signing for Blackpool on a scholarship deal. The youngster, who operates on either flank, joined from Accrington Stanley last week.
In a video posted on Blackpoolโs official Instagram, Zaccai introduced himself with pride, saying: โMy name is ZaccaiโฏEtuhu. I play as a left winger or right winger. Iโve played for Accrington Stanley, and I support Manchester United.โ
He also shared a cherished onโpitch memory: โMy favourite football memory is scoring a free kick from twenty yards out. My favourite subject is PE.โ The ambitious youth right-footed and wearing Adidas boots has expressed admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo, hoping to emulate the Portuguese superstar at Bloomfield Road.
His father, Dickson, enjoyed a distinguished career that included 20 appearances for Nigeria, participation in the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup, and spells at clubs such as Manchester City, Fulham and Sunderland. Dickson made 111 Premier League appearances and featured prominently in Fulhamโs run to the 2010 UEFA Europa League final.

We marvel at how a young talent like ZaccaiโฏEtuhu is carving his own path, firmly under his fatherโs considerable shadow yet determined to forge a distinct identity. We believe his frankness about supporting Manchester United reflects not mere fandom, but a sincere aspiration to test himself at the pinnacle of club football.
We are struck by the poise with which he spoke seemingly unaffected by his lineage, yet fully embracing the challenge that comes with it. His scholarship signing by Blackpool carries more than just contractual promise; it signifies a platform from which he can shape his own narrative.
We urge football followers and pundits alike to watch his progression closely. Blackpoolโs environment seems tailor-made to nurture his raw talents, enabling regular firstโteam minutes that will accelerate his development. We anticipate that with proper guidance, Zaccai can evolve into a dynamic attacking force, unafraid to blend flair with effectiveness.
We are convinced that, as he steps into new surroundings, he carries both legacy and ambition in equal measure ready to leave his mark not because of who his father was, but because of who he is and will become.
