United want to Buy a Brazilian

United join race to sign Brazil hotshot. Manchester United are considering a January move for Brazil striker Leandro Damiao. Tottenham failed in a £20m bid for Damiao last week while the 23-year-old was offered to Liverpool on loan but the deal was considered too expensive. United held talks over Damiao in February and intermediaries met his representatives in Sao Paulo Airport on Monday to outline a proposal for January. The striker won a silver medal at the Olympics and was tournament top scorer with six goals. United bolstered their front line with the £24m signing of Robin van Persie from Arsenal this summer and also boast Danny Welbeck, Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez among their ranks. But Leandro is fast becoming one of world football's hottest properties after his star showing at London 2012.
