MU joins the race to sign "little Pele"

Young talent Neymar is creating a real fever in the transfer market. A series of European giants are waiting to hunt for the signature of this 19-year-old striker. Manchester United is the latest name to express their desire to have the service of the striker from the land of Samba.

The streets of Brazil have always been the cradle of outstanding talents in the football world. In the past, there were Garrincha, Pele or more recently, the time of Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho or Kaka'. And now the hottest name that Brazilian football has just produced is none other than Neymar.

Neymar is very hot in the foggy country

At just 19 years old, Neymar has become an indispensable pillar in his hometown club Santos, scoring 59 goals in 116 appearances. The young talent is also gradually making a name for himself in the national team, with an impressive record of 3 goals in 3 appearances for the yellow-green team. Most recently, Neymar scored a brace in Brazil's 2-0 victory over Scotland in a series of friendly matches that took place last week. It is this impressive form that is making it impossible for a series of giants to ignore this striker nicknamed "little Pele".

Chelsea is the club that has been chasing Neymar's signature the most in the last two transfer windows. However, after spending £70 million in the last winter transfer window without seeing much success from new recruits like Torres or David Luiz, President Abramovich seems to be more cautious. Immediately after Chelsea showed indecision, Neymar expressed his desire to join Barcelona, ​​but with a fee of £40 million to buy out Neymar's contract with Santos, it seems that this deal is very difficult to succeed because President Sandro Rosell himself once declared that he would not spend £40 million to recruit Fabregas (and if he did not spend £40 million to buy F4, then surely Barca would never spend that amount of money to recruit a player like Neymar).

The difficulty in approaching the Brazilian striker of Chelsea and Barcelona has opened up an opportunity for Man Utd. Most recently, according to the Sunday Express, Sir Alex Ferguson has expressed his desire to bring Neymar to Old Trafford in the summer transfer window. The price of 40 million pounds is quite high for a 19-year-old talent like Neymar, but if MU is successful this season, the "Red Devils" board of directors can completely accept this price. Moreover, rumors surrounding the departure of Dimitar Berbatov appear more and more, which is also the basis for believing in the possibility that MU wants to recruit a striker like Neymar.

It is known that Sir Alex Ferguson has a very good relationship with Neymar's representative - Wagner Ribeiro and with the recent "Brazilianization" movement at Old Trafford, it is also possible that "little Pele" will arrive at the "Theater of Dreams" in the next summer transfer window.
