Manchester United do not have a great track record with Brazilians but Gabriel Barbosa could become the seventh to join the club.

The Sun claims United are 'now in pole position' to sign 19-year-old Santos forward Barbosa and could conclude a deal within 48 hours. It is the transfer window of the 48-hour oracles - Sky Italia peddled that timeframe on Paul Pogba for about two weeks.

Jose Mourinho was apparently rejected the funds to sign a young Brazilian earlier in the summer - thought to be Gabriel Jesus or Barbosa, so it should be no surprise if he finally gets his way, having made a positive start to life at United.

Simply dubbed 'the next Neymar', Barbosa is currently playing for Brazil at the Olympics - where they face Honduras in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

West Ham defender Reece Oxford has been interesting United and other clubs for months but he is set to remain at the club after impressing during pre-season.

If his development continues, he is unlikely to stay at West Ham for much longer.

And Mourinho's biggest fan, Duncan Castles, now reckons Daley Blind and Juan Mata will stay at United, having previously reported they would probably be sold.

Blind performed well in Sunday's win over Bournemouth while Mata started and scored, having briefly reacted angrily to his withdrawal during the Community Shield seven days earlier.
