Will immediately join up, rather than going back out on loan as initially thought.
If only there was a thread on him.
I didn't see one on the United forum and they've only announced he got a work permit in the past half hour. Until that point he was as much a United player as Adem Ljajic was.
So this is Official now.
Can he play centre back?
No not yet. He hasn't signed the contract yet, I think.
His last game for Universidad is tomorrow night/early Thursday morning. I'll be watching it. I honestly can't wait. I've been watching this guy since his debut for Universidad, (5/6 games so I missed a few) and his talent is there for all to see.
I'd love it if he gets a few CO-Cup appearnaces this season. He does seem the mature type that sometimes may not require a loan. I'm not saying it won't happen, but if there every was a type, he'd be the one; if you know what I mean

Is this the end for macheda?
He's basically a United player now so there should be a thread on him in the United forum...#FreeNilsson
I hear he is a RVP MkII.
Good signing and au revoir Macheda and possibly Berba.

Gill said it would be interesting this summer.Can't argue with that.
Has RVP really been here long enough to have 'MkII''s? I mean the guy hasn't even scored a goal for us yet!
I'll just add the notorious youtube clip that's required for every thread:
From watching full matches of him, it's hard to muster a negative about him. He's a quality finisher, can take on a player to make that ounce of space needed, can hold the ball up well, great movement and he's got a good amount of pace on him. I know I've said it on countless occassions, twice today already, but it really has to be said that his game is insanely mature for his age he is - turned 18 a few months ago.
He could very well develop into a machine if done so correctly. I can't honestly wait.
(I loved the movement he made, and the finish he executed for the goal beginning at 2:19.)

Baffling. Not the signing, the decision to keep him here. We couldn't even get Hernandez on the bench yesterday. Why not send him back to South America where he can learn the language and get game time?
What are his first touch and passing like?
My Bad, meant to say he is RVN MKII
Can he play DM ?
By your description he sounds like a young Michael Owen
His touch is fine - not Berbatovesque, but uses his body well. As I said, he's good at holding up play if Universidad just fired it up at him. When through balls are put through to him, he can pull off sublime touches to pull away from the defender.
Passing - admittedly, I didn't notice anything orgasmic in that aspect. You can tell he has vision, and does try and pull off deft touches near the box to set other players through. From the 5/6 games I saw of him, I'd say his passing was fine. He drops deep at times to get more into play, and does try to bring others into the game. That's really all I gathered from his passing.
He's 18 though, and even if having "average" passing was unacceptable, he has plenty of time to develop that part of his game; especially if he trains with the first team.
Two world class players, two teenage prospects and an honest-to-goodness left-back. Muppet's perfect summer, surely?
Oh, and he does flips as celebrations sometimes too!
Still Fergie trolls by no CM
Another striker... I can only assume we might sell a few?
Maybe we loan him out to a PL team or give him a year in the reserves to acclimatise to the English style.
Yes South America is the best place to learn English.
Twice in that clip he could easily have gone down. Once for a penalty but he kept going and scored instead.
If he was to go on loan surely a pl club would be the best option?
PL or Championship. Not sure of his level yet, to be honest.
Does seem a bit odd that we're keeping him here. To be honest, the transfer itself seems a bit odd to me given the array of talent we've already got, though I'm guessing the club feel that this guy is the sort of player that we'd be silly to miss out on. Maybe we'll stick him in the reserves with a view to playing in the Carling Cup (alongside Hernandez, Welbeck, Macheda, Powell, etc
) and then send him out on loan at some point.feck knows. Still, excited about all the positive comments about him, but he really is going to have to be amazing for his age, you'd think!
Interesting signing given the wealth of options we have in the forward line. I think/hope he gets a run out in the carling cup just to see how he goes before deciding to farm him out.
He had to pull the trigger because other clubs were sniffing around. He will most likely star in the U21's or be shipped out to FC Twente or another english club on loan. I am betting he becomes an attacking mid eventually.Does seem a bit odd that we're keeping him here.

if we keep him here rather than letting him stay for another year in chile, i guess it is because fergei wants him to learn and know the english game, life, language better. one year of developing himself as well as training alongside the first team players should do him a world of good. and you just never know, especially with our luck with injuries, 2 or 3 of our forwards are injured at the same time and henriquez could find himself on the first team bench.
we also have the option of loaning him out to a championship club, or maybe one of our apprentice club in belgium or holland for him to get more playing time in the near future. he is only 18 and still has time on his side. but let him spend 6-12 months at united first for him to get the taste of being a united player.

I learned English here, can't see why he couldn't. He was developing nicely at Uchi, why not leave him there for another season?
He gives love a bad name
we could do with some of his , 'no nonsense' approach, instead of us passing around infront of the box ala everton, he would have smashed a few of thos passes goalwards.
definately can see the Ruud similarities. I hope he uses his time here well to learn fron RVP, Rooney and even Berbatov (esp 1st touch) if he stays.
It will do him no harm to move him over with his family so he can start to settle. Obviously it's easier for United to keep an eye on him that way too.
I know this has probably already been discussed in the other thread but what sort of forward is he?
Everyone is always so keen to loan young players out immediately on this board. Surely it makes a lot more sense for young players to have at least 6months-1year with the club's coaching staff etc so we can see where he's really at?
Would think so... I would also think it would be a lot easier for him to settle in England at United and not be shipped away to some Championship club right away. He should at least spend the rest of this (calendar) year at United.
He must be due his signing the contract/holding up the table cloth, pic.
Is he playing vs Santos?
