Way More Brazil

Today Ronaldo has completed his Real Madrid medical, which you can read about here, I've decided that seeing as Ronaldo has all but gone I'll stop writing about him or quoting him, unless there's something concerning Man United there.
The only stories of note today are concerning Brazilians. Douglas Costa being one of them, The Times reporting:

Manchester United have opened talks with Grêmio about signing Douglas Costa, their highly rated Brazil Under-20 attacking midfield player, as Sir Alex Ferguson steps up his search for the new Cristiano Ronaldo.

Douglas, 18, has been closely monitored by United for more than a year, but despite interest from a host of leading European clubs including Real Madrid and Inter Milan, Ferguson is confident of signing the player this summer as the Barclays Premier League champions continue to look to Brazil for potential stars of the future. ...

Douglas is rumoured to have a £21 million release clause in his contract with Grêmio, which has four years left to run, but United hope to secure him for less than that. Any deal would be dependent on the player getting a work permit. ...

“There have been informal conversations and I believe United would match those values,” Cesar Bottega, Douglas’s agent, said yesterday. “At the end of the Brasileirão [the South American league championship that ends in December], Douglas will be worth at least twice that.”

Other papers (The Telegraph for example) have the same story but have it as we're being "priced out" of a move for him.

Both the above stories say that "it is reported" that we've done a deal for Dodo, Brazilian defender, who'll arrive in January, the reports say.

The Mirror have us in for a Brazilian striker, Nilmar:

Brazilian striker Nilmar is being tracked by Manchester United as they weigh up a £20million bid.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson badly needs to strengthen his attacking options after losing both Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez this summer.

And the exciting Nilmar, 24, is one option as they look to revamp their squad.

And that's the lot.
