In the 7 goals that the Blades have scored, this season, he has scored 2 goals for them. The Brazilian midfielder will try to score his debut goal at the Old Trafford. His versatility in the midfield can be a prove to be a threat to United's defense.

Despite his goal less start in the Premier League, he has also been the main man for Denmark in the Euro qualifiers with 7 goals and 1 assist in 8 matches.
