No no... not the clumsy bird that went extinct... its Dodo the new left back that Manchester United is signing. Not much information now. All we know is he is Brazilian, 17 years old, plays for FC Corinthians and is worth 5 million pounds. Its the 5th consecutive Brazilian boy at Man Utd now. Looks like Sir Alex is going for youth and most of them hail from the land of Samba and Joga Bonito. Brazilians are just born with a football at their feet. They live and breathe it, which is why they are so darn good.
If Dodo is half as good as Evra, Man Utd has got its left back position well covered for years to come... it has been one of the less reinforced positions since Gabby Heinze left. I am pretty sure Dodo flys down the wings faster than the extinct bird he shares a name with.
The future is truly bright and exciting at Old Trafford. A quick glance at the Reds' Reserve team: Macheda, Welback, Possebon, Petrucci, the Da Silva twins, Gibson, Foster, Tosic, Ljajic, Campbell, Brandy, Martin... and now DODO !! I love that name... We have a mini Arsenal right here in our own backyard.... step aside Arsene Wenger.... the youth system of Man Utd is second to none.
