Will he be so good as Anderson.

Someone is taking the piss with Wiki again. Brentford! 
Question on a previous post about him being assigned a squad number - this would only be possible if he has a Euro passport, correct?

Brilliant news.Wonder if he´ll feature in the reserve game tomorrow.
Yes, he doesn´t meet the criteria for work permit.Someone is taking the piss with Wiki again. Brentford!

I would think so.
Otherwise he wouldn´t get a number, if he isn´t ready for action.
It's certainly possebon.
Jesus christ, brentford must be pissed.
I think that's him.
He looks amazing.
I think that's him.
he has an Italian passport.
Well, he got a squad number because he is in our Champions League squad which they had just delivered to UEFA.
i read he is gattuso-esque must be good!
Anderson is the new Possebon.
Best box to box midfielder we´ve had since Liam Miller was at his best.
Choccy likes him so he must be good
Playing for reserves tonight:
Brian McClair and Jim Ryan have included Brazilian midfielder Rodrigo Possebon in the Reserves' squad for Thursday's Manchester Senior Cup clash with Manchester City.
The 18-year-old could make his first appearance for United since joining from Internacional last month, as the Reds look to register a fourth straight victory in this season's competition.
Possebon joins a strong midfield in the 16-man squad, alongside Chris Eagles, Corry Evans, Michael Barnes, Sam Hewson and Tom Cleverley.
United will look to exact some revenge for this week's U18 mauling by City, in which the Blues posted a 5-0 FA Premier Academy League victory at The Cliff.
The Reds also have the added motivation of avenging their defeat by City in last season's Senior Cup final, where the Blues ran out 3-1 winners at Old Trafford.
Thursday's match kicks off at 7pm.
United: Heaton, Zieler; Gray, Lea, Eckersley, Chester, Galbraith; Hewson, Barnes, Cleverley, Eagles, C Evans, Possebon; Welbeck, S Evans, Bryan.

He came on for the last 35 minutes and looked tidy without doing anything spectacular. He likes to pass short and got involved at both ends of the pitch. I don't think he gave the ball away once and got a few tackles in as well. He is a big lad so hopefully he will settle in OK.
Cheers for that, what was the final score?
You can't beat a nice bit of "Posse!"
Him and Anderson in the middle, Rafael and Fabio at full back. Half the brazil squad eh?
Ronaldo and nani on the wings, Tevez and macheda upfront..
Rooney in goal?
How often does some unknown teenager sign up and immediately join the reserve side? Is that because he's too old to play for the youth sides? Is he on professional terms?
Hes 19 next week so hes not that 'young'. He'll probably be trying to break into the first team next season. Im ragin I missed that reserves match. Would liked to seen him play. Whens our next reserve game?
Our next reserve match is on Valentine's day, not sure who it's against...may be Bolton.
I think the lad will be called only "Rodrigo" as that's what MUTV had as his name on the team sheet and what the commentator referred to him as too, better than Possebon at any rate.
He looks a very composed player; good passer especially. Will see more of him on Thursday though.

Next reserve game is the 14th against Blackburn.
He has an Italian passport. Italian and Portuguese passports are handed out willy-nilly for some reason in Brazil!
Possebon is starting tonight according to the official website...!
Reviews welcomed (or indeed expected! MUM * Cough)

Rodrigo played the full 90 minutes tonight....I thought he was our 'man of the match'.....while not the quickest player....he is incredibly skilful on the ball and his passing is all you woud expect from a Brazilian. I think he only made 1/2 bad passes all night....he is very strong on the ball without needing to make tackles.....he reads the game well and is always looking to go forward.
I think he is a very good player and heard him distinctly use english on a number of occasions so the language barrier shouldn't be an issue for him.
Definitely one to watch!

Good to hear
What kind of player did he seem like? Was he a ball of energy running around like Anderson and Hargreaves, or more like Carrick and Scholes where he uses intelligent positioning to be in the right place at the right time? Defensively sound?
Sounds good anyways.

Thanks for the vid, certainly looks very promising with his touches
This compilations says nothing. On every playground you see boys doing nice moves. Doesnt say they are good footballers.
Could be a great talent nevertheless

Playground footballers aren't making those "nice moves" against the reserve team from a Premier League football club, to be fair.
But yeah, youtube compilations can be incredibly misleading.
Reminds me of Diego in terms of style on the ball.
You'll find lots of playground players who can dribble against reserve team players, but that's about it then.
Those compilations can be very misleading, plus he's already compared with Pirlo, which is ridiculous
Christ, his decision making is so quick.
