Manquillo told the Liverpool website:
“I’m very happy to have signed for a club like Liverpool. I think it’s one of the biggest in Europe. Any footballer would want to come and play here.
“When they tell you Liverpool want to sign you, I think like any player, you are going to be absolutely amazed and you don’t think of anything else than going straight there.
“It’s a team that nowadays, as I said before, any player would want to be a part of.”
