Sir Alex Ferguson says Manchester United have stepped up the hunt for new talent in South America and Mexico.
The
Reds boss is impressed with the character of players from that part of
the world and recently raided Chile for exciting teenage striker Angelo
Henriquez.
"Our scouting there has increased," Sir Alex reveals in this month's Inside United. "We've got an operative in Mexico, two in Brazil and four South American scouts now.
"Quite
frankly, they do produce. The South Americans love playing football,
it's just in their blood. The three Brazilians - Anderson, Rafael and
Fabio - love it and are first to training every morning. It's a breath
of fresh air.
"Antonio Valencia is as tough as nails with great
discipline about him. Chicharito has a fantastic attitude to playing and
everything else. It's really good. We've done very well in Central and
South America in the last two or three years."
