Manchester United midfielder Rodrigo Possebon has committed his international future to Italy.

The Brazilian carries an Italian passport and was called into the Italy U20 squad last week.

"I'm very happy with the news of this selection. From the moment I got the Italian passport I knew this was what I wanted. It is even a way of saying thanks to the country that gave me the opportunity to play in Europe and in Manchester.

"I will grab it with both hands and give all of me. Italy was the country that has recognized my work and I do not believe in looking back ," said Possebon.
