The Brazil international is an exciting acquisition by Manchester United, with his move still subject to visa and registration. Having sparkled for Wolves in the Premier League last season, the 26-year-old scored 15 times in 33 games, including one against the Reds in a 2-0 victory for the hosts at Molineux.
He also laid the second goal on a plate for Hee-chan Hwang, one of six assists in the division, and netted in both of his Emirates FA Cup ties.
Yet, even ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, he had shown his quality and big personality.
The Brazillan loved playing futsal while growing up in Joao Pessoa and Recife, before cutting his teeth with Coritiba, following a trial with Santos.
