It was a desire that the young forward had stated in a press conference before his presentation, repeated in front of his new home fans.

After a tremendous reception from the Tribuna section of Mestalla, with chants of support as he emerged from the tunnel wearing the Valencia CF shirt for the first time, Munir took a selfie photo with the 3,000 plus fans behind him as a souvenir of the occasion. The new signing launched various footballs into the crowd, and was given the keys to a new Volkswagen VW Golf y Levante Wagen head of sales, Miguel Parra.
