Keep a clean shit tomorrow, United is my final bus
This guy looks a talent. Linked with us, AC Milan, Inter and others, he looks destined for a big move soon. He's Columbian, 20 years old and on loan at Lecce from Udinese, but is considering his options for this summer and has said that both Milan clubs have made him offers. Reminds me a bit of Benzema in his Lyon days, complete striker.

Recent goals against Roma:



More from him:

 
Had a great u20 WC. I've been a fan of his since then and think he has the size and technique to make the jump. I'd prefer him at another midsized club though; I think either Milan is too much.

And it's ColOmbian with two o's :)
 
No thank you. His name is Muriel. His name that will be said by commentators. That's too stupid. Not worth it.
 
Udinese really have an amazing scouting network.
 
Manchester United are lining up Udinese forward Luis Muriel as a possible replacement for Wayne Rooney.
United manager David Moyes is a long-term admirer of Muriel, and he is ready to try and push through a transfer for the player if he fails to hang on the wantaway England international.
Moyes has already turned down two offers from Chelsea for Rooney, but the player has made it clear he no longer wants to remain at Old Trafford.
It’s a situation that is testing Moyes’ managerial abilities, but he is determined not to be caught short if Rooney eventually does depart.

Colombian international Muriel tops the Red Devils’ list of possible incomings; with new chief scout Robbie Cooke pushing for the transfer to happen.
Muriel, 22, is a fast and creative forward who can play as an out-and-out striker or on the wings, and would be available for around £18million.
He scored 11 goals last season for Udinese and was watched by United, Liverpool and Barcelona scouts during the Europa League qualifying match against Siroki Brijeg last week, in which he bagged two goals.
Muriel would fit in nicely with the likes of Robin van Persie, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck, making him an ideal option.
Rooney is not likely to be the only striker that departs Old Trafford this month though, with Angelo Henriquez, Kiki Macheda and Bebe also expected to leave in the coming days.

Looked very talented on the few times I've seen him. 11 goals in 15 starts last season. I'd like to see what he does this season for Udinese, and see how he performs as a first choice player through a full season.
 
Muriel? Not a fan of footballers with girls names. Carol didnt exactly light it up, did she?
