The Manchester United team sent scouts to observe a Brazilian prodigy.

Brazil has not won a World Cup in 22 years, an affront to the nation which has won the competition a record five times. In the meantime, the giants of European football have started collecting Brazilians again.

FC Barcelona signed Vitor Roque from Athletico Parananense for 40 million euros in January, and Palemeiras prodigy Endrick will follow him to Spain with Real Madrid in July, with Los Blancos having paid 72 million euros for his capture. And now Manchester United are ready to get in on the action, according to a certain source.

English clubs on the lookout

“With an assist and a goal in his first four matches for Gremio, the European giants are naturally turning their attention to (Gustavo) Nunes”writes Planet FootbalL. “Manchester United have already called on their scouts for the teenager, while Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are closely following him. »

Nunes – sometimes called Gustavinho – never made it a secret that he idolized Neymar, the former FC Barcelona and PSG star who was an example of Joga Bonito (the beautiful game), sometimes to the dismay of opposing defenders. Nunes, 18, has scored four goals and provided five assists since joining the first team this year. As a right-footed left winger, comparisons with Neymar, who now plays for Al-Hilal, seem inevitable.
