London – Cruzeiro midfielder Everton Ribeiro has opened talks with Manchester United over a January transfer, according to reports.

According to Metro.co.uk, Ribeiro, who is rated as one of the rising stars in Brazil, has been strongly linked with a move to United in the last few weeks.

Despite Cruzeiro initially suggesting that the 24-year-old was not for sale, his agent has revealed that negotiations are already underway over a move to Old Trafford, the report
