Manchester United are taking another look at Brazilian teenager Matheus Marcosi.

The 16-year-old plays for Desportivo Brasil, who have a tie-up with United, and has been at the club's Carrington training complex on previous occasions.

He has been invited back for this week and is hoping to impress coaching staff enough to convince United to offer him a contract.

Marcosi can play in defence or midfield.

United have suffered a stuttering start to the new season under Jose Mourinho, who joined the club in the summer.

The Old Trafford club began their Premier League campaign with three successive wins and looked to be among the early pacesetters.

However, a derby defeat against Manchester City curtailed their momentum and they followed up that 2-1 loss with successive defeats against Feyenoord and Watford.

They did manage to respond by beating Northampton Town in the League Cup, and a victory against champions Leicester has left them sixth in the nascent Premier League table.
