Rodrigo Possebon was flown out to join the United team last week to take part in the pre-season preparations. The 19-year-old Brazilian has got tongues wagging around Old Trafford, all speaking highly of the young talent.
“Rodrigo is a tall, elegant midfielder who fits into the idea of a modern footballer,” said Brian McClair. “He has very good ability and is a box-to-box player rather than your silky tricky midfielder. He’s very steady. Rodrigo also speaks very good English which has helped him. That makes a big difference. He is young and has come a long way from his home to England but he has settled in very well. He’s very level headed and we are pleased to have him.”
Possebon has been tipped to play some sort of role in our first team next season, possibly emerging sooner than we might have initially thought, in a similar fashion to Anderson last season. If that is the case, what songs will we sing for him, following the massive success of the Anderson song?
To White Pele
“I saw my mate, some time ago,
He said that he saw Brazil’s Keano,
He’ll be here, when Ronnie’s gone
He goes by the name of Possebon”
To Ryan Giggs running down the wing
“Possebon, Possebon, running box to box
Possebon, Possebon, wearing his red socks
Feared by the blues
Loved by the reds
Possebon, Possebon, Possebon”
To Who’s that man from Argentina
“Who’s that boy we call Rodrigo?
Who’s that boy we all adore?
He is harder than Rio
He is tough, our lad, Rigo,
And forever at United he will score”
Can you do better?

I love the first one, the others are quite good aswell. On possebon though, he definately has the potential to play in the first team.
To White Pele !!!
He plays with his left,
He plays with his right,
that lad rodrigo,
Is up for a fight.
Viva Rodrigo
Viva Rodrigo
Watch him pick a pass
Cos he’s fucking class
Viva Rodrigooooooo
haha love these, scott! tevra, definitely think yours goes into the mix as well!
that said, saw possebon on sunday and while the lad was only out there for a bit, he has a noticeable impact on the pace of the match as soon as he stepped onto the field. Didn’t wait but a few seconds for his first touch on the ball – i like it!
Tune – Song for whoever – Beautiful South
We loved you when you were in our reserve team
Watching you play like Keano is a dream.
To show our appreciation we wrote this song for you.
Possebon, Possebon can’t forget your name
Possebon, Possebon he passes to Wayne
Possebon, Possebon he wins the game
Possebon, Possebon can’t forget your name
lol brilliant!
I watched him play live vs Kaizer Chiefs at the Loftus Stadium, Pretoria, i was sitting a few raws behind the touchline, and i had my eyes stuck to this lad Possebon, he’s passing ability is a top drawer, and he’s first touch is’nt bad too, although he did hesitate to put himself in the hard-tackling department, but it looks to me as though Possebon’s our new Keano. He’s a class act, no doubt, hope to see him break into the first team squad. Possebon’s iikely to be playing for the United’s first team in the near future.
I can’t think of any for the lad, but I’d like Nani to have one. Here’s my poetic attempt:
His crosses are sweet
He don’t do tap ins
That boy Nani
He’s done it again!
Ive got no chant unfortunately although your 2nd chant is good!
I watched Possebon play in South Africa too and I cant agree that he looked so good. I thought his passes often didnt find a United man and he seemed to pull out of a few challenges.
To be fair to him, it was his first game after a long flight to South Africa but he just was not so impressive. I can definitely see potential though because he kept himself busy and the best thing is that he kept demanding the ball and looking for it and it shows real confidence.. Also I met him at the players hotel and he was very friendly!
I love the Viva Rodrigo 1 that 1 needs to be sang when he makes his debut
What about this for Rio to the tune of Duran Duran’s song?
His name is Rio and he earns a hundred grand
And with Nemanja there’s a line drawn in the sand
And when he plays he really shows us all he can
Oh, Rio, Rio strolls across United’s land
Any good?
One for Edwin to tune of Madness’s ‘Driving in my car’:
I like Edwin van der Sar
Try to score you won’t get far
Cross it in from the right
He will catch the ball all night
Thoughts?
To the tune of Nicky Butt. Posse possebon possebon posse possebon.
