Can you name every Brazilian to score for Manchester United in the Premier League?

Should be relatively straightforward

Darragh Murphy

Brazilians have had varied success in the Premier League.

Players from the country renowned for beautiful football can sometimes struggle with the physicality of England’s top flight but many have gone on to flourish.

In total, five Brazilians have scored a Premier League goal for Manchester United, one of the most successful clubs in England, and we want you to name the lot.

One or two might be more obvious than others, we should warn you, but hardcore fans should be getting 100 per cent here.

United manager Jose Mourinho has always been a fan of a Brazilian, according to an interview with ESPN earlier this year.

“I think that a team without a Brazilian isn’t a team,” Mourinho said. “But also, a squad with three or four Brazilian athletes, depending on their profile, cannot make a great team too. I’m kidding!

“I think their talent is fantastic and the creativity of the Brazilian player cannot be measured. If a European team, like, very European, could have a Brazilian in their squad, it would bring a ‘Brazilian thing’ to the game and I think that’s very important.”

Best of luck and let us know how you got on.
