Everton Ribeiro has told ESPN Brasil that he could fit right into Manchester United’s midfield, and he’d certainly be open to playing for the current Premier League Champions. The 24-year old has been heavily linked with a January move to United over the past week, and the player himself certainly seems interested in any potential move.
The midfielder was recently named the best player in Brazilian domestic football, on his way to helping his side Cruzeiro to winning the title. His agent has claimed that talks between United have taken place, and although I have never seen him play, I’d take any midfielder at the club at the moment.
Ribeiro said:
“I already watch the Premier League games, they are great teams that play in Europe. They are the dream of any player.”
“I feel I am ready to play in any part of the world. If you play for Cruzeiro, you can play in any place.
He then went on to talk about United more directly:
“United have Kagawa, Rooney, De Gea is the goalkeeper. I know them very well because I play with them a lot in video games as they are a great team. You play it one day after the other and know the players even better.
“I would fit in any part of the midfield. I would do well as a playmaker to support the attack.”
After that Ribeiro suggested that he’ll leave all negotiations to his agent, and they’ll try to sort out a deal that suits all parties. The young man seems a very confident boy and he seems to know what he wants. Hopefully a deal can be pushed through in January.
