Manchester United are reported to be in the hunt for Cruzeiro attacking midfielder Everton Ribeiro, and from the look of him he may be just what United need to reignite David Moyes team.
Brazilian website Lancenet claim that Manchester United are competing with Liverpool for the 24 year old’s signature and whilst there has been interest from the Middle East and Eastern Europe, it is believed that Ribeiro favours a move to England.
His agent Robson Ferreira revealed:
“Everton Ribeiro doesn’t want to move to a club in Eastern Europe or Qatar. We are going to avoid intermediary markets. We have a career plan for him. If Cruzeiro accept to sell him, it will be better for him to play for a big European team.”
Earlier this year Cruzeiro turned down a bid of €7m from Spartak Moscow for the forward who can operate on either flank or through the middle, and Lancenet claim that a bid of €8m could secure his services although they hope they can keep him for the 2014 Copa Libertadores
United have sent representatives to check up on the player but are said to be holding off making an approach for the player until they can ascertain whether he will be given a work permit.
Winning the u20 South American championship in 2009, Ribeiro was one of the 2013 Brazilian Série A campaign’s standout as champions Cruzeiro picked up their 3rd title.

Moyes sometimes you make a fales change in a big games, you should`t have remove chicharito at the first place, Welbeck need to move for a long loan, and stop bringing in Giggs, what is Kagawa doing on the bench for God seek, If van persier is not available then why not let Hernandez play full time and if he still on the pitch at moment of equalizer he would have score and he was not happy when he was change by Giggs, the earlier you take note on that the earlier you gain your victory, you did the same thing during Real Sociedad match and you brougth in persie and he made know differences, it will be good enough as earlier you learn from your mistakes.
