Manchester United fans revised the Nicky Butt chant for Rodrigo Possebon as he started to shine in League Cup performances last season.

The same has been done for Gabriel Obertan, particularly during his impressive display against Barnsley, which has made him feel very welcome.

"I'm very proud of that," he told MUTV.

If reports in the Portuguese media are to be believed Rodrigo Possebon, who was loaned out to SC Braga, has returned to Manchester. Google translate is not the best, but according to this link, he's been axed because of a squad trimming exercise by the coach.

I also saw it mentioned on the United Youth site in its roundup of our loanees.

So, this is a bit belated, but it appears that Rodrigo Possebon has been loaned to Sporting Braga. The Portuguese side finished fifth in the Liga Sagres (thereby qualifying for the Euro League... or UEFA Cup... or whatever the hell it is that Arsenal will soon find themselves competing in).

The young Brazilian featured primarily in Carling Cup matches last season, and had his playing time further reduced by a rather nasty tackle from Boro's Emanuel Pogatetz.

Fraizer Campbell is the latest in line of the more prominent youngsters deemed not good enough to make the grade at United. He was sold at £3.5m (which could potentially rise to £6m). Financially, I think we sold him a bit on the cheap when Hull were prepared to offer up to £7m as a one time fee.

News coming today that Corinthians seventeen year old centre-back Dodo (sorry about the picture but I couldn't find a clear one of the youngster) is on the verge of making a move to United. This move has been mooted for about a month and a half now and it looks to be drawing closer to a reality as the youngster has been quoted as saying he expects to join us in the near future.

In a week or two, United will be linked to several players a week, whilst a few of our players will be reported to be moving away. Some of the rumours might turn out to be true, most won't, as usual.

But are there any rumours which you would like to be true?

GK: Van der Sar - Ben Foster - Tomasz Kuszczak
RB: Wes Brown - Rafael - Gary Neville
CB: Rio Ferdinand - Jonny Evans
CB: Nemanja Vidic - John O'Shea
LB: Patrice Evra - Fabio
MF: Cristiano Ronaldo - Nani - Zoran Tosic
MF: Michael Carrick - Ryan Giggs - Anderson - Rodrigo Possebon
MF: Paul Scholes - Owen Hargreaves - Darron Gibson
MF: Darren Fletcher - Park Ji-Sung
ST: Wayne Rooney - Carlos Tevez
ST: Dimitar Berbatov - Federico Macheda

A team made entirely of our second string players would be a match for most teams in the league, let alone if we were to throw one or two of the likes of Rooney or Ronaldo in the mix.

Are our youngsters good enough? Everyone talks about the youngsters at Arsenal and how talented they are, and this is certainly true but what about the youngsters at Man Utd, are they good enough to make the grade or are we going to have to splash out ridiculous sums on more top names?

Rodrigo Possebon has elected to play for Italy who he qualifies to play for thanks to his father. It is his Italian passport which allowed him to sign for Manchester United as he was not subject to European Union legislation regarding non-Europeans working in Europe.

He has been called in to the Under-20 set up this week and is chuffed to have been asked.

Points to Ponder
Rio Ferdinand may be 1) dead or 2) suffering from hypothermia. Our defensive stalwart remains sidelined with injury and, after taking in his brother's performance at a frozen Stadium of Light, may indeed have frozen to death.

Manchester United's victory over Middlesbrough in the 3rd Round of the Carling Cup was overshadowed by the horrendous 'challenge' on United youngster, Rodrigo Possebon. Following the clattering tackle, Pogatetz looked bewildered by the referee's decision to show him a straight red card.

Fergie is understandably very angry with Emanuel Pogatetz for his challenge on Rodrigo Possebon. However, the 19-year-old Brazilian midfielder, who was making his first United start, was taken to hospital, kept in overnight for observation but has now learned there is no break.

"It looked a really bad one.

Manchester United knocked Middlesbrough out of the League Cup this evening with a team showing just the right combination of youth and experience.

There was a time when Manchester United fans cringed whenever we were linked with a player from South America, following a dreadful history of players originating from the continent playing in our shirt.

United drawing with Newcastle on Sunday did not surprise me, I'd predicted it might well happen on this blog, nor has it surprised me in the slightest that Gary Neville looks to have dropped down the pecking order with Wes Brown and Raphael da Silva being preferred to the England defender.

Rodrigo Possebon became a Manchester United player in January 2008. Although given the number 34 in the first team, but it would take time for him to play regularly. He is probably not a hot commodity in Brazilian international football since he is not currently called for a duty in the Olympics. Maybe in the [. Click to continue reading...

United welcomed club captain Gary Neville back into the first team for the Community Shield curtain raiser on Sunday, it was a fairly comfortable afternoon for Neville & Co in the Reds back four with Portsmouth's new strike force of Crouch and Defoe failing to hit the high notes on what was a pretty forgettable day for Pompey and their fans.

Pre-season games can often look like an exercise in going through the motions in preparation for the real thing, and with United failing to sign any big names this summer many supporters will no doubt be slightly frustrated at the club's inability to find a new striker.
It does seem a bit ridiculous that Fergie hasn't been able to get his man thus far given the success of last season and money in the bank. Click to continue reading...
