Seems obvious that if we do sign him, it'll be a year or two before we have to worry about "fitting him in"
He'll settle into the reserves and go out on loan like the rest

Who are Manchester United's five new Brazilian signings?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Always nice to hear ANY player really wants it to play for United.
This has unofficially become the Bruno Gomes thread. What happened to the 5 brazillians?
this bruno gomes lad sounds to be a promising player.
He is 16!!! RVP is 29. By the time RVP is done, he will be ready to slot in and take over. RVP and Hernandez are the only out and out strikers that we employ these days. Welbeck and Rooney are used more in attacking mid/winger positions. I wouldn't worry about either him or Henriquez slotting in. They will both be fine.
Seems like only one of them might be good enough.
Does anybody know what happened to Agnaldo and Aguiler?
Read the thread back. 
Agnaldo the one who was on trial with us in the summer has signed for Molde.
He was meant to be quite good wasn't he? I'm assuming we won't be taking him on then or is this a way for him to get his permit?
The answer to that question will probably be indicative of just what this burgeoning Ole-built relationship we have with Molde is going to be.
Well if we have struck up a deal with them, it will be good to see the players go to a team managed by Ole.
He impressed in a couple of friendlies IIRC. But Aguilar was the one supposed to be good and Lucas Evangilsta the one who we were more impressed with and were tracking. He was the one who caused a bust up of the link with Twente too.
About Agnaldo we did recommend him to Molde probably. Whether or not there is a option for us or just helping out Ole, dunno.... They've taken him on loan with a option to buy.

So other than Bruno Gomes who isn't part of that 5, and leao who turned out pretty shit. Is there anything happening with the others that you know of?
I wasn't aware our link with Twente ended.
Yeah they fecked some shit up for us.
Personally I doubt we have. Fergie tends to be very responsible about youngsters who we get involved with, whether it's someone who's come in for a couple of trials or a lad who's been in the academy all the way. I imagine that what's happened here is that for one reason or another we've decided not to pick up our option on the lad, and rather than just take away the promising future in European football which has been hanging over him for five years or so, Fergie and Solskjaer (or scouts from the two clubs) will have discussed him, informally, bringing about Molde's interest. Of course, that's pure guesswork.
Really? What happened?
Very possible, we all know Fergie likes to look after youngsters even if they don't get a career with us.
Cheers Cevno ('pologies for the laziness, I don't follow this thread so didn't think to read back for the info).
Not verified info but from reading/asking around other places and this thread my understanding is -
Leao was apparently the only one with European passport, but wasn't very good. Went back to Desportivo and hasn't done anything of note there either.
Evangilsta came for a trial with us and we were impressed and tracking him, but then what the post above from Drainy says happened and he is at Sao Paulo. Gladstony went with him.
Agnaldo as I told about above.
Aguilar is still at Desportivo and playing for their u20's.
Cheers, so basically Bruno is our last hope there. We need to form some new links to take over the twente link.
What has happened to our link with Royal Antwerp? Cofie and another youth player (McSomething) were there last season, I believe.
Mclovin?
It's still present. Van Velzen and Luke Giverin went on loan there this season.
Any news on Gomes' Italian work permit application? It was mentioned it was expected last week.
Is there a limit to the amount of feeder clubs a parent club can take on?
Sounds good. Then we get all the young talent. It's so easy, why haven't we done this already?
FFS United didn't think this partnership through, did they ?
Bruno Gomes @B9oficial 35m
“@_oliverperkins: @B9oficial Are you learning English so you can easily speak to the United players when you get here?” Yes kkk
Bruno Gomes Bruno Gomes @B9oficial 40m
Trained Too Well the morning, had lunch and now rest already! AFTER SCHOOL english language!
His latest tweets, just half an hour back. Think the European passport he was trying for, may not have come through.
And even though he will surely choose United if there was a choice can see why if the club won't commit and the Money being offered he may have to go Elsewhere.

In fairness to the lad, he clearly wants the deal to go through but he needs to have options in case his transfer is blocked by our shitty work permit laws.
No use getting his heart set on this transfer and then when it falls through letting it set you back *cough*Ljajic*cough*

Why are you coughing?
Just been on Bruno's twitter and he's got Manchester in his profile although I have no idea what the sentence translates to. Also he's retweeted quite a few things from united fans looking forward to seeing him here, it's refreshing to see a young Brazillian dreaming of our club, I'm sure Rafael being here will be a great factor for him too.
Also he replied to a tweet from sport witness asking him for an interview so hopefully they get some decent info out of him.

oh btw, apparently Rafael Leao is now on trial at Middlesborough. Didn't think it was really worth bumping the thread for. Good luck to him, I don't think he was ever given a fair shot at United in terms of gametime in his preferred position.
Nice, looking forward to seeing this kid play for our u21s. You'd expect him to tear it up in all honesty. But feck, we mustn't forget we still have Henriquez and Will Keane as well.
