Man Utd Target: Bruno Montelongo

If you have never heard of him, Bruno Montelongo is a 23 year old right-back from Uruguay. Currently, he is on loan at Italian super club Milan, but he plays for Uruguayan Primera Division club River Plate Montevideo. Last season he managed to scored 7 goals in 30 appearances for his club, which is no easy achievement for a player playing at right-back. He is yet to make an appearance for Milan. IMScouting is reporting that Sir Alex Ferguson has an eye on this right-back. With Gary Neville’s career coming to an end due to age, and Rafael looking likely to be his heir, Montelongo would provide additional depth to the squad.

Montelongo is an attack-minded player and is known for his accelaration and technique. This explains his goal return in the 2009/10 season for River Plate Montevideo. He has already had some international experience with the Under-20 Uruguay team, taking part in the 2007 Under 20s World Cup. Montelongo holds dual nationality, having Italian descent but being born in Uruguay. The price mentioned that United would have to pay River Plate Montevideo for his services is in the region of 9 Million Euro.
