I’m focused on doing my job for United, and of course I want to be seen by those in Brazil. I need to play more and get more chances. It is a big dream of mine to play in the Olympics.”While his lack of chances at United have halted his development at club level, he is still highly likely to be selected by Dunga for the predominantly Under-23 panel for the event this summer.</blockquote>
