Carlo Ancelotti wants to sign 16-year-old prodigy from Palmeiras Estevao Willian, who is called "Messinho" by the local press, but according to Defensa Central, Manchester United have also turned their attention to the young talent.

To get him, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is prepared to shell out fabulous sums of money. A reported 60 million euros kickback, while the Red Devils are planning to pay as much as 90 million euros to make him a long-term investment for the club.

Top clubs turned their attention to him at the Under-17 World Cup, where he scored two goals and gave three assists in five matches for the Brazilian national team in five matches for the Seleçaos.
