Man Utd Brazilian hopefuls turn out for FC Twente in friendly

Manchester United's Brazilian hopefuls have already turned out for Dutch partners FC Twente.

The Daily Mail says three players from the Desportivo Brasil youth team played in a friendly for Twente against AGOVV/Apeldoorn on Thursday, with a view to joining the club as a stepping stone to England.

Highly rated 16-year-old striker Aguilar, who was recently called up by Brazil's Under 17 squad, played alongside midfielders Lucas Evangelista and Agnaldo as Twente won the match 5-1.

Twente boss Michel Preud'homme, the former Belgium goalkeeper, was among those taking a keen interest in the training-ground match.
