Manchester United are reported to be interested in a move for Santos prodigy Paulo Henrique, according to The Mirror.
The 20-year-old youngster has been dubbed as 'the new Kaka' and is in the radar of big European clubs like United, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and AC Milan.
Henrique was widely tipped to be included in Brazil's World Cup squad after scoring 11 goals in 20 league appearance for Santos, but failed to make the cut for South Africa.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has mentioned that he will only be adding one or two players to his squad this summer and would prefer to sign players for the future.
The talented player could be exactly what Sir Alex is looking for but the wily manager might not get his man (or boy) as Santos president Alvaro Luis Ribeiro has issued a warning to clubs stating that Henrique is not for sale.
But whether the youngster can resist the lure of Europe's top sides is another story altogether.
