Eduardo Conceicao: Man United make transfer promise to Brazilian wonderkid also wanted by City
Manchester United are set to shake up the Eduardo Conceicao transfer race, with reports from Brazil suggesting that a serious move is imminent.
Indeed, Conceicao is one of the latest exciting talents to emerge from Brazilian football. He has caught the eye with his performances for Palmeiras U20 and the Brazil U‑17 side.
As a direct, right‑footed left winger who attacks the box, the 16‑year‑old is tipped to become one of the deadliest wingers in the game. What makes him so dangerous already is the maturity in his game. Unlike many of his peers, he does not dwell on lateral dribbling but instead focuses on verticality and speed.
As a result, a host of top European clubs already want to sign him, with Manchester City among them.
However, as they dream of signing Dudu, as Conceicao is better known, United may already have the player’s blessing to approach Palmeiras over his transfer.
