Manchester United are on the brink of signing highly-rated Internacional midfielder Rodrigo Dourado.

United boss Louis van Gaal is believed to have sent scouts to Brazil to monitor the 20-year-old recently, and they were impressed with what they saw.

Van Gaal is keen to bolster his midfield options ahead of the new Premier League season, and Dourado would certainly fit the bill.
