After acquiring a stake in Manchester United, Sir Jim Ratcliffe is determined to transform Old Trafford into the best place for developing the world’s most promising players, and Estevao Willian is viewed as a perfect fit for that direction. Manchester United has faced criticism for spending large sums on underperforming players since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson, and Ratcliffe has expressed his desire to sign the “next Kylian Mbappé” type of players, such as Estevao Willian.
Willian, also known as “Messinho,” due to his similarities to superstar Lionel Messi, is a 16-year-old player who typically operates as a winger and has made only five appearances for Palmeiras. However, his performances at the youth level have garnered considerable praise.
Real Madrid had previously pursued Messinho, hoping he would replicate the success of his fellow Brazilian compatriot Vinicius Junior at the Bernabeu. Nevertheless, recent reports indicate that Manchester United is looking to snаtch this young talent. In fact, the Red Devils have reportedly made a “highly attractive offer” in their efforts to lure Messinho to the Premier League.
