Manchester United To Sign The “New Ronaldinho”
SoccerFiesta.net - English Premiership Champions Manchester United reported their interest to sign 18-year-old Gremio midfielder Douglas Costa, who also known as the “New Ronaldinho”. United has appointed two full-time scouts in Brazil to keep tabs on the latest Samba stars.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that they had two scouts in Brazil. “We have invested in two full-time scouts in Brazil,” said Ferguson. “It is a country you should pay attention to. Historically, it has always been a country that produces fantastic footballers and players who can play in big games all the time.
However Ferguson still refused to comment about possibility to sign Douglas Costa to the Old Trafford team. “Our scouts go to games and might get seen. It doesn’t mean we are signing anyone.”
Douglas de Souza Costa recently play for Brazillian club Gremio of Porto Alegre. Spanish giant club Barcelona previously also shown their interest for Costa, but Porto Alegre are already rubbing their hands with his new star, and are unwilling to let her escape for less than 8 million euros.

Traditionally, Fergie is always unwilling to invest his time with brazilian players as he deemed them too soft for the rough EPL style but recently since Anderson and Rafael Da Silva are so doing well, he might be more receptive to them.
