Cruzeiro midfielder Everton Ribeiro has sent out a come-and-get-me plea to Manchester United, explaining he would love to play alongside Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney.

Ribeiro has been linked with Manchester United and with the Brazilian season having ended, the 24-year-old could well be on the move in the new year.

 


And the midfielder, who would leave Cruzeiro having just won the Brazilian title, feels ready to turn out in the Premier League.

He told ESPN Brasil: "I feel I'm ready. If you're playing for Cruzeiro you can play anywhere."

Talk of Manchester United as a potential destination is something which has certainly pricked Ribeiro's ears too, with the midfielder sending a coded come-and-get-me message to the English champions.

"I know Manchester United are very good, because I play them in video games. They have a great team.

"I'd fit in midfield for United, and in what position it does not matter.

"It would be great to work and play with Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney.

"But I will let my agent and Cruzeiro talk about this. If they think it's good for both parties then they will let me know."
