Manchester United are reportedly keeping tabs on the Brazilian attacking prodigy, Ricardo Matheus.
According to Globo Esporte, Manchester United have sent Scouts to watch in action against Fluminense at the Maracana.
Meanwhile, another unnamed Premier League club is keeping tabs on the 19-year-old attacker as well. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United follow up on their interest with an official offer to sign the player.
The player has a €65 million release clause in his contract, and it is highly unlikely that Manchester United will pay that kind of money for the young attacker. The Brazilian outfit will have to be reasonable with their demands in order for the move to go through.
Manchester United have a proven track record when it comes to nurturing young players, and they could help the player develop and fulfil his potential. He has the tools to develop into a quality player for Manchester United with the right guidance.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League will be quite exciting for the 19-year-old attacking prospect, and Manchester United could help him fulfil his promise.
Meanwhile, Manchester United need more quality in the final third, and they could lose attacking players this summer.
Can Man United get the deal done for Ricardo Mathias?
It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can negotiate a reasonable deal to sign him. They have done well to groom young players over the years. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them can be quite attractive for any player. The Brazilian youngster will certainly be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League. Regular exposure in England could accelerate his development.
Manchester United should look to act quickly in order to get the deal done. Another Premier League club is keeping tabs on his situation, and Manchester United will not want to miss out on the player.
Meanwhile, Internacional will not want to lose a player of his quality any time soon. They might want to recoup a premium for the young attack. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
