Manchester United 'close to signing Brazilian youngster Rodrigo Dourado'

Manchester United are reportedly closing in on the signing of Brazilian youngster Rodrigo Dourado.

The 20-year-old, who currently plies his trade at Internacional, is said to have been tracked by the Red Devils for the past year.

It is claimed by the Daily Mail that United boss Louis van Gaal has received positive reports from his scouts, and will now push ahead with a move this summer.

However, Dourado is not likely to leave Internacional until after the Copa Libertadores semi-finals next month, meaning that a switch may have to wait.

United are also thought to be interested in Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, as Van Gaal looks to strengthen his midfield options.
