Fergie all out: Man Utd to buy Brazilian Damiao

Manchester United are considering a January move for Brazil striker Leandro Damiao, according to the Daily Mail.

Tottenham failed in a £20 million bid for Damiao last week while the 23-year-old was offered to Liverpool on loan but the deal was considered too expensive, it said.

United held talks over Damiao in February and intermediaries met his representatives in Sao Paulo Airport on Monday to outline a proposal for January, the report added.

Leandro is fast becoming one of world football's hottest properties after his star showing at London 2012.

The striker won a silver medal at the Olympics and was tournament top scorer with six goals.
