For instance, Gremio's Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo being one. The player has been likened with FC Barcelona's Andres Iniesta and the Special One hopes to beat off competition from a host of European top clubs to bring the player to Old Trafford.
Melo, born in 1996 and who came up through the youth academy at Gremio, is not the only young player that has caught the eyes of the Manchester United manager. According to Portuguese media outlet Record, 16 year old striker Umaro Embaló will leave Benfica to join Manchester United academy as soon as possible. The transfer fee is in the region of £5 million according to Portuguese media, which was deemed sufficient enough to secure the services of the player right in front of Spanish giants Real Madrid's noses who have also showed an interest in the player.
