Manchester United have taken midfielder Rafael Leao on loan from
their Brazilian feeder club Desportivo Brasil.
The combative midfielder is only 17 but has attracted the
attentions of United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Leao will train with the Reds academy for the rest of the season
before United decide whether to retain his services on a permanent
basis.
The Premier League leaders are also believed to have options on
four other players from Desportivo.
