Red Devils target Internacional's Nilmar
Manchester United are currently monitoring the situation of Nilmar at Internacional, and are keen on signing the striker.
United are allegedly in the midst of raising the £20 million needed to purchase the 24-year-old hitman.
Sir Alex Ferguson has reportedly singled out the Brazilian forward as Carlos Tevez's successor, after the Argentine international ruled out a return to Old Trafford.
Rumours from England have claimed that the Premier League champions sent more than a handful of scouts to the Confederations Cup to have a good look at Nilmar, but he has only made a substitute appearance for Brazil in the tournament so far.
Nilmar began his career with Internacional, hauling in 16 goals in 42 games in his rookie campaign. The Bandeirantes-born hitman then joined Olympique Lyonnais in 2004, but struggled to make the grade at the Stade Gerland.
The Brazil international then moved to Corinthians in 2005, scoring eight goals in 32 games.
Nilmar has now rediscovered the rich vein of form that once made him such a prized asset, scoring 15 goals in 31 games since returning to Internacional in 2007.
