BRAZILIAN superstar prodigy Kaka could answer Manchester United's January transfer window dilemma.
The 20-year-old Sao Paulo striker is destined for a move to Europe and is rated the best youngster produced by Brazil since Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.
Reds' boss Sir Alex Ferguson has outlined the difficulties in adding to a squad in mid-season.
The high calibre targets that would be on Fergie's wanted list are all ineligible for United Champions League duty.
Bringing in a new hitman for Premiership action alone is also equally problematic. The quality scorer United need is unlikely to pass up European chances in the second stage and knockout phase of the Champions League.
Fergie has indicated that the South American market is one area clubs in Europe will scour to strengthen their pools during the winter transfer window.
The Reds made their only mid-season plunge last season in South America when they landed Argentine club Independiente's Diego Forlan.
Potential
The young Uruguayan has suffered in front of goal since his £7.5m January move to Old Trafford but Kaka is believed to be a potential instant hit.
Kaka played just 18 minutes in Japan as Brazil won the 2002 World Cup but his skill, strength and awareness at setting up and scoring goals has earned him the label as the new superstar in Brazil and a potential successful export to Europe.
TV money, sponsorships and gate receipts are all down in South American football and it means the gap in quality in Brazil and Argentina, for instance, in comparison to the big European leagues is growing bigger with their league football made up of promising youngsters and over-30s.
However, Kaka is believed to be good enough to bridge that gap immediately both at league and Champions League level.
