I'd lump him in with Manucho as a bit of a long shot to be a regular first team player for United, but certainly well worth the risk.

I thought that, when he was first mentioned several weeks (or even months) ago, that there were several clubs chasing him and he has represented Brazil at youth level so he's hardly unknown.
