Man United ready to sign another Brazilian attacker after landing Matheus Cunha

Manchester United are exploring a golden opportunity to snap up one of the brightest emerging stars of the next generation.

According to the reliable insider Sully Talkz, United are monitoring Santos sensation Robinho Junior.

The 17-year-old is being scouted by United but Chelsea, Inter Milan, Espanyol, and Galatasaray are also interested in securing his services.

The teenager is the son of former Real Madrid and Manchester City star Robinho.

He has a release clause of €100 million, but could be signed for a bargain due to the poor financial condition of Santos.

He has started only twice and has an assist to his name.

Operating primarily as a right winger, he is admired for his lightning feet and flair.

He could be the second Brazilian to move to United after Matheus Cunha completed his transfer from Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this summer.

Robinho Junior is initially expected to move to the Under-18s or Under-21s to acclimatise himself to the change in football dynamics.

He could also form a deadly partnership with JJ Gabriel under Darren Fletcher.

Despite being only 15, Gabriel has caught the eye of almost every big European club.

He previously played as a left winger, but has recently been occupying the central forward spot under coach Darren Fletcher.

INEOS have been aggressively reshaping the academy, improving facilities, expanding scouting networks, and targeting elite potential at the earliest stage possible.

Jack and Tyler Fletcher, Sekou Kone, Chido Obi and Diego Leon are among the exciting young prospects already added to this youth project.
