Brazilian twins Fabio and Rafael Silva have revealed they have spent time training with the Manchester United squad.
The youth internationals, tipped as the next Cafu and Roberto Carlos, are currently contracted to Brazilian club Fluminense.
The brothers have been linked with United for the past year and are reportedly set to sign for the Premiership giants in the summer.
They claim they have negotiated a deal and Rafael says it was Cristiano Ronaldo who helped persuade them to join.
The right-back told The Sun: "When we were negotiating, Cristiano Ronaldo phoned us saying that Manchester United was a tremendous club and it was a wonderful place to play football."
Left-back Fabio added that it had been a delight to play with the likes of Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
"We were there to be familiar with the club and we played part of a friendly match," he explained.
"We were on the same pitch as Rooney and Ronaldo. They were very kind with us."
I heard about a possible deal for these two in the Summer and looks like it's on course to happen.
