It’s the sort of prospect that immediately gets the mouth watering. When you think of a Brazilian signing the synapses soon summon silky strikers and the stupendous skills of samba stars. But, before you have to go home to change your pants, I should point out that Manchester United are actually interested in a Brazilian defender – namely Dede, according to the The Daily Mail and latterly, The Express. United apparently use Jaap Stam as their main talent spotter in Brazil and if he says Dede is the man then you would be inclined to agree. Stam, let’s face it, was the nuts. Such was the quality of the Dutchman in his pomp that it seemed just a little unfair even fielding him. He improbably combined tree trunk legs with inordinate speed and skill and, if it hadn’t been for the biography, he would surely have finished far further up the list of all time United greats. Meanwhile, the 23 year old Brazilian is seen as a future star of the national team and is also reportedly being tracked by Juventus. £15m is the mooted amount of money sought to snare the next defensive wonder of the world. United have recently bought Smalling and Jones. They also have Evans as cover and with Rio and Vidic still around, there appears to be lots of quality in this area already. That said, Fergie reportedly failed in his bid for another defender, Raphael Varane, in the summer, so the story might have legs. Probably not as big as Stam’s however.

United need a midfielder not a defender, they have cover in defense and only lack a creative midfielder.

We may av cover up in defense but they are prone 2 mistake.jones looked vulnerable against tot and evans looked assured but do comit sily mistakes like d 1 against man city.so d signing of dede should be a very good idea by d way.
