Manchester United are scouting not one but two Brazilian wonderkids, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Italian transfer expert already previously revealed that Man Utd and Chelsea are keeping a keen eye on 17-year-old Flamengo youngster Lorran, but there's another 17-year-old in Brazil that has aroused the Red Devils' attention.
That kid is Luis Guilherme of Palmeiras. A teammate of Endrick, who will join Real Madrid upon turning 18 in 2024 for a reported €37.5 million, Guilherme is an attacking midfielder like Lorran.
However, Guilherme is further along in his development than his Flamengo counterpart. While the latter has only made a handful of appearances for his senior side, the Palmeiras youngster is already something of a regular, having racked up 22 first-team appearances this calendar year, though has not yet managed to contribute with or to a goal.
What did Romano say?
Nevertheless, he is considered a massive talent and there is a reason why Man Utd - and a host of other European sides - want him. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano revealed the Red Devils' interest.
"Keep an eye on Man Utd in South America because in recent weeks, Man Utd, as I told you, sent their scouts - as well as Chelsea - to follow Lorran from Flamengo, this talented Brazilian boy. Man Utd scouts were in attendance to follow this player."

"But from what I'm hearing, there is also one more player being monitored by Man Utd - Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras. One more Brazilian talent."
"So, someone from Man Utd's scouting department is travelling around Brazil to keep an eye on these players. Let's see what's going to happen because, for example, on Luis Guilherme, there are more than five important European clubs from Germany, from England, from different countries, so work in progress on that one."
