Manchester United have had their own share of Players from the Samba culture of Brazil play for them over the years. Most of these Players were not the biggest of names in World football but they still played their part for the Old Trafford club....CONTINUE READING
We will take a look at them and see how they fared during their respective times at Manchester United.
Here they are:
1. Jose Kleberson
The former Brazilian Midfielder played for Man United from 2005 to 2008. He played a total of just 20 games during that time. Injuries did not let him and Kleberson duly left United to join Besiktas.
2. Anderson
The former Brazilian Midfielder was a great prospect during his time at Man United. He played 105 times for the club from 2007 to 2015. He won the EPL 4 times with the Champions league but never truly achieved his true potential as poor form, bad attitude and injuries all contributed to an early exit from Football.
3. Fabio and Raphael Da Silva
The twins joined Manchester United from their home country, Brazil in 2008. Fabio played 22 times for Man United before leaving the club in 2014. He is currently at Nantes in France.
Raphael on the other hand, had a longer and better career at Old Trafford but he also eventually left in 2015 after playing 109 times for the club. He is currently back at home in Brazil and playing for a local team.
4. Andreas Periera
The Brazilian Midfielder recently left Man United to join Fulham after spending close to over 10 years at Old Trafford. He joined United in 2011 as a Youth Player, played for the senior team on 45 occasions and was frequently sent out on loan spells to different clubs, spells which were largely unsuccessful.
5.Fred
The Brazilian Midfielder is currently at Manchester United but there are calls for him to be sold by the club after an underwhelming 4 years spell at the club. He joined from Shaktar Donestk in 2018 and has made over 100 appearances for Man United.
6. Alex Telles
The Brazilian defender is currently with Manchester United but he was recently sent out on loan to Sevilla. Telles has never settled in at Old Trafford and a disappointing 2021/2022 campaign exposed his deficiencies especially in defending.
